He had a history of hamstring injuries earlier in his career, if I remember right. Regardless, I'm not so quick to discard this - a stretch - perhaps, but certainly something to consider.

Having said that, foot support is typically a reactionary move made after the existence of chronic leg problems. Jose had been super healthy and issue free up to the moment he hurt his tendon. Blaming a switch of cleats is certainly a reach, and borderline fiction.

Alex Cora had different batting gloves, lead to his wrist and finger injury... John Maine had new contacts causing him to not see properly and over throw, Johan used a different nail clipper so his grip hurt... Carlos delgado took a different multivitamin so he didn't get the proper dose to correctly lubricate his hip.... Oliver Perez wore longer pants which weighted too much and caused his knee injury......David Wright changed his sunglasses for a day and couldn't see the ball so he got hit in the head.... This all lead to a terrible season.... Really seriously a "Real Journalist" wrote this....... It was a bad year marred by terrible plays, bad luck, injuries, and poor performances. I doubt someone changing their cleats had anything to do with it. Talk about a slow news day. I also think Carlos Beltran changed his socks which lead to his knee injury…..
