Excuse the poor photo, I can't move it around much and wife refuses 'to take photo of your foot for the internet you perv'. Circled bit is bruised and swollen, I'm pretty sure its related to my Achilles, walking around today has been pretty awful (especially when @ad441 forced me to drive to pick up a super king size bed).
I haven't taken any ibuprofen since yesterday when riding as @moth put the fear of death into me about stomach lining damage related death, but also as I sort of wanted to see what would happen rather than mask it for it to only turn up another day.
Shoes are giro empire so lace up, dont think I did them up too tight, but tbh this started when I tried to keep up with @JB 2 weekends ago, so possibly over exertion?
I have the insoles supplied with the giros, chosen by Scherrit. Am going to have a chat with him tomorrow hopefully...

Yes, that's your Achilles. Overuse injuries are common with it on long stuff.
It's why I moved to midfoot. The general fix is to move cleats back so your foot is moved forward and you 'ankle' less. Ibuprofen is evil. I'm no longer touching that shit.
Definitely speak to Scherrit for options. Mean time, rest it up.
hippy
Damage how?
That's an odd one to me since you would normally be lifting the heal during pedal stroke.
How's your Achilles?
How tight is back of shoe?
Do you use orthotics?
