Good afternoon. I am starting to notice a lot of calf cramping/concerns. Which can also lead to minor calf tears at the extreme end of the spectrum. Many would look to basics such as hydration, electrolyte levels, fatigue and a lack of strength. However, one key concept to consider is the alteration in many shoes over the last few years. Dont assume that the shoe that you buy now is the same as the previous shoe that you bought 1 year ago. Many companies are reducing their stack height. Which is the difference in height from the rear of the shoe to the front. This places a lot more load on the calf and can easily lead to ongoing calf concerns. So please make sure that you look into this before purchasing your next shoe. Happy Monday! Rosco
