Tips on how to run with a forefoot strike.
The Xero Shoes Zelen is one of the lightest, thinnest and widest barefoot shoe out of the Xero Shoes lineup. The Zelen performs best when running in hot, dry conditions, but is also full of versatility that goes beyond running!
The Vibram Five Fingers Jaya is one of Vibrams most lightest, barefoot-feeling shoes that is perfect for walking and running in hot and cold weather on paved smooth or rocky dry and wet surfaces. The Jaya is also great for water sports and rock crawling!
Forefoot running is much better for the arch than heel strike running because it enhances the elastic power of the arch while reducing impact severity on the arch, too!
The biggest question in running is how to run properly?Good news is the science is settled that the safest, most efficient way to run is to avoid landing heel-first, and instead land with a forefoot strike! This is because forefoot running does a significantly better job at helping you avoid damaging impact burdens altogether. An additional mechanical factor that also helps keep impact low and energy efficiency high, especially at faster running speeds, is to lean slightly forward.
Thick cushioned running shoes with stability support increases the risk of injury by forcing the feet into extreme positions which causes the ankles to work harder in holding the foot more steady. This increased mechanical work at the ankles also spills over onto multiple sites of the leg, like the shins and knees, and is a net contributor to ankle sprains, shin splints and runner’s knee.
