Recent research points out what to know about highly cushioned running shoes and your mechanics. To do this, researchers surveyed 710 runners on their perceived foot strike patterns, shoe type ...

For some runners, high heel-to-toe drop shoes (the difference between the height of the heel and the forefoot), which you’ll find on highly cushioned running shoes, can offer up some much needed ...

Accurate self-detection of foot strike pattern may reduce the risk of running-related injuries in endurance runners. Shoes with a lower heel-to-toe drop may be preferred to reduce the risk of injury.

It's a process." Both foot strike patterns and shoe type have been linked to running injuries in past studies, but the interaction between the two has been difficult to identify from small groups ...

They studied the runners’ training regimen, make and model of running shoe, injury history and perception of how their feet make contact with the ground (also known as their foot strike).
