One of the most impressive benefits to zero drop running shoes is the lack of excessive heel cushioning keeps your foot strike and leg swing mechanics in a safer range that produces significantly less impact, while keeping your foot more stable at landing.
For instance, a zero drop running shoe renews your foots role in running by leveraging a low-impact forefoot strike instead of a high-impact heel strike. This is because the smaller the heel-cushioning, the more the back of the foot pulls back closer to under the hips at landing, while angling the front of the foot downwards towards the ground. Read more here on all the evidence-backed reasons minimalist shoes are safer and better for your overall foot health than standard running shoes which are often too narrow, too inflexible, and overall, too un-ergonomical.
