Are Minimalist Shoes Good for Running?

One of the greatest outcomes of running in minimalist shoes is better form and reduced injury to the knee as compared with running in thick cushioned running shoes. Its been made very clear in the research that minimalist shoes do more to help you evolve more functional stride mechanics tied to less injury because of the heightened sense of the ground due to the thinner, flat sole. This heightened-feel of the landing surface is enough to encourage a low-impact forefoot strike (landing on the balls of the foot, not high up on the toes) over a high-impact heel strike. Also, running in minimalist shoes was found to improve knee stability by nearly 10% and results in less costly eccentric contractions of the quads to control knee flexion as compared with running in thick cushioned running shoes.

  635. First off I want to say great blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing. I have had difficulty clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out. I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints? Appreciate it!
