Reviewing the best forefoot running shoes aimed directly at improving your forefoot running form and the functional needs of the feet. These shoes are either study-proven or given high marks among wear-testers and myself for supporting the natural anatomy and function of the human foot, helping you be stronger and more efficient from the ground up and for engaging your forefoot running mechanics in ways that are more functional.
What is the Point of Minimalist Shoes?
Unlike conventional shoes, minimalist shoes are more beneficial for your feet because research has shown that there’s less stress on your foot. This is because of the wide, anatomically correct shape of a minimalist shoe allows your entire foot to expand, which expands the surface area of contact, thereby reduces uneven tendon, muscle and bone stress on the foot. At the same time, the unrestricted, flexible fit delivers a constant stream of engagement to promote more soft tissue growth and muscle strength development of the foot and leg.
