Barefoot advocates, Dr. Daniel Lieberman and Dr. Steven Robbins go head-to-head on the evolution of running shoes.
The evolution of the forefoot running technique – why forefoot running was life-improving for early humans.
Under heel cushioning causes a runner to have unnatural biomechanics accompanied with an elevated risk of injury.
