I've been wearing the Brooks ST3 for years. It's always worked pretty well for me, but recently I've been having some achilles pain and I'm thinking that I should move to something with a little bit higher heal and more support at least until the pain clears up. Is there a shoe in the Brooks line that is similar to the ST but with a little bit higher heal? Is there another shoe outside of the Brooks line I should be looking at?
Ask on the running store thread.
nike lunarfly - makes the old axioms feel like bricks. i never tried the ravenna's. forefoot striker here. lunarfly's not so expensive either.
Check out the Brooks Green Silence
Launch.
In the Brooks line, the Ghost (Ghost 2 if you can find it is better than the 3 for the feel you want) is probably closest to what you are looking for. It is not posted like the Racer ST series, but offers as much control due to it really just being more shoe and offering a mid-foot bridge. The Ghost 1 and 2 were firmer and had a more racer like feel than the newest Ghost, however the newest Ghost is probably still the best in the line for what you want.
Lunarfly isn't a bad option either. A couple other options would be the the Asics DS Trainer, Scott Makani II, or New Balance 905.
if you want a higher heel then do not check out the Green Silence it is more minimalist. Try the Ravenna you will like them. I rotate the st racer and ravenna for my training runs and I am very happy with both

Maybe they should go to the doctor.

Sorry to hear that. Where can I send a get-well card?
Like the Launch, but actually preferred the old Defyance. Haven't tried the new model yet.
I am a Brooks wearer in the I.D. program. I think if you want a race flat higher than the ST then just check the silence. If you want a very light great trainer(competition) shoe then the launch would be perfect. I wear tested both when they first came out.
