Also, your shoe might not be deep enough. What if you went with a small heel lift and a small shim? That would make the Achilles issue less prominent and would eliminate the need for a huge shim.
I'm currently using the Shimano M086 and I would say they don,t have a deep heel. It is something to think about though.
