Best running shoe for achilles issues?

I hurt my achilles a few months ago... wore a boot for 6 weeks and am now all healed. Want to buy a new pair of running sneakers, but I'm not sure what to look for? Do I want a stabilizing sneaker or something with a higher heel? I am considering the Nike Lunar Eclipse 2+. Any suggestions/recommendations would be much appreciated!

Go to a specialty running store and get fitted. Make sure you let them know about the injury. They will probably put you in something that has a good differential in heel/toe drop and maybe even and insert to take some more pressure off the Achilles.0

Brooks makes over 100 different running shoes.
It's really important that you don't go into this looking for a particular brand, because what works for me may not work for you. Be open minded and don't ever worry about what they look like.0 -
Thanks - I will get myself to a running store this weekend! Yes, I tried to take the easy way out and do research online, but not sure why I'd chance it with such a risky injury.0

I have a problem with my achilles tendon as well as my knees and back and I wear Brooks Glycerine 9. I went to a running store to be fitted. Glad I did because when walk/running in these shoes i am basically pain free.0
