So, I went in search of footwear that might be kinder to my tendon and maybe allow some healing to take place without me actually stopping walking for a while, a prospect that fills me with horror. The Dutch owner of the shop in Killin, The Outdoor Centre, was extremely helpful and I bought a pair of Merrell MQM Flex GTX, which feel as light as a pair of non Gore-tex shoes. I've always liked Merrell and these new ones were comfortable around Killin in the rain. I'll try them properly tomorrow on a low level route, in the wet if the forecast is right. I recommend The Outdoor Centre. Not in any way pushy but very helpful and knowledgeable. I'll go back.

They look good. I did the challenge in Merrill and found them excellent straight out of the box. I look forward to see what you think later.
Fingers crossed Alan. I think they’ll turn out to be a good choice and I can’t imagine them making my tendon any worse. I’ll let you know.
I reckon you should colour coordinate with the rest of you apparel.
Thanks for the helpful and potentially expensive suggestion Conrad.They are a bit on the bright side, but I don’t imagine they’ll stay that way for long which will save me a few pounds on the colour coordination front.
