Zero drop running shoes are more than good for running! They’re actually safer than cushioned heeled running shoes because zero drop running shoes engage the mechanical features that significantly improves the function of the Achilles tendon.
Barefoot running is healthier for the feet because it not only makes the foot’s muscles, soft tissues, nerves and blood vessels stronger, barefoot running also engages a forefoot strike and higher cadence which prevents abnormal foot motions and postures, like over-pronation.
Barefoot running is safe, and is actually safer than the most cushiest running shoe! There’s converging evidence from multiple lines of research showing that running barefoot produces the most optimal coordination of safer, more efficient mechanical outputs that do more to protect you from injury than in running thick cushioned running shoes.
Forefoot running was found to do more to strengthen the toes than heel strike running.
