Sorbothane insoles
I bought some 'Full Strike' sorbothane insoles back in Feb or March, in the final weeks of the Boston training. Tucked under the lining of my shoes, they most definitely added a layer of cushioning. I was paranoid about putting too much strain on my calf again, and was willing to try anything. The manufacturers claim they absorb over 90%+ of the impact from hard surfaces. I've no idea if that figure is accurate but they certainly did seem to help.
If you search on sorbothane on the RW forums you'll find plenty of discussion about 'em -- mainly positive. Not especially cheap (I paid £17.50 for a pair) but in my case, well worth it for the peace of mind and the extra comfort. This is no guarantee that they will work for you!
