There are major differences between minimalist and normal running shoes which include the barefoot-feel of minimalist running shoes were found to do a better job at increasing the likelihood of avoiding a force intensive-heel strike, and instead, encourages a forefoot strike landing tied to significantly lower instantaneous loading and vertical impact peaks as compared to normal cushioned running shoes.
The safest, most efficient way to run uphill is to land with a forefoot strike because it was found to do a better job at improving the position of both initial foot strike position and your upper body posture in ways that greatly reduces the opposing forces linked to most common running-related injuries as compared with heel striking.
Heel strike running was found to be not only incredibly injurious on even grounds, it was found to dramatically increase eccentrc loading and mechanical demands on the foot and leg, but especially the knee was found to be most sensitive to injury when landing heel-first when running uphill.
Minimalist running shoes work best for older runners in preventing falls, enabling the feet to become strong to deflect loading and absorb impact without protective running shoes, while making the foot’s bony architecture more tolerable at handling normal loading as compared with thick cushioned running shoes.
The best starting place to avoid heel striking when running is to avoid lifting the front of your foot back upon and at landing, rather learn to relax the front of your foot and let it fall to the ground so that you can actually land directly on the balls of your foot.
