On the basis of the best available evidence, increases in intrinsic muscle activity in the foot correlates to increases in foot functional strength whereby certain running shoes strongly affects the foot’s intrinsic muscle activity thus affecting foot functional strength development. In stability running shoes, the feet are too immobilized which causes the foots muscles to be under-stimulated and intrinsic muscle activity is greatly reduced. In consequence, developments in foot functional strength is sharply limited and the foot becomes progressively weaker overtime with routine use of these shoes.
