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!
Heel strike running may cause lower back pain over forefoot running because more impact is more highly dispersed up the lower back.
The high impact loads of heel strike running increases compartment pressure in the foot-ankle complex that persists as pain and injury as compared with forefoot running.
Heel strike running was found to increase rapid contractions in the anterior tibialis (the muscle that runs down the front of the shin) which was found to be a risk factor for shin splints as compared with forefoot running.
