Cushioned running shoes are actually un-protecting runners from injury by causing more impact at landing and more physical stressors during the stance phase of running. Below reveals decades of research proving that cushioned running shoes are a continuous mechanical interference that not only causes long-lasting damage to the shin and knee, but is equally damaging to your feet and overall running form.
Why Do Running Shoes Cause Injuries?
Stability running shoes actually cause injuries because there’s more scientific conclusiveness showing that these shoes either cause overpronation or restricts the natural pronatory movements of the foot in ways that pushes the kinetic chain up the leg away from the natural order. Conversely, running barefoot or in barefoot-like footwear is one of the best ways to get immediate improvements in pronation control.
