Are Cushioned Running Shoes Making You Injured?

In a conventional running shoe, the heel is mounted on a thick slab of cushioning relative to the shoes toe-box, whereby over-reaching too far ahead of the torso with your foot, causing a force-intensive over-stride angle, is a major consequence of that.

Another equally damaging consequence of running in thick cushioned shoes is the lack of ground-feel leads to big increases in the downward force at heel strike, whereby many examples the research has provided for us reveals cushion properties of standard running shoes failed to produce any detectable improvements in the magnitude of impacts at heel strike.
