I have had multiple issues this season with muscle problems in my calf muscles all the way down to the achillies. Mostly strains that go away in a day or two.
Here is my question, is it possible these are being caused by shoes. I switched this year from mid to low top but the basic shoe is about the same.
Could it be a dehydration issue.
I have maintained the same stretching prior to games that I have always done. In fact, maybe more this year.

When it happens it feels like my calf explodes or a knife has been inserted. They always seem to be deep muscle, never on the surface where you can put your hand on it and try to rub it out.

Anyone else ever deal with this type stuff.
Thanks for any feedback.
