Running shoes with a large cushioned heel was found to be a source of injury by signfiicantly increasing heel bone stress as compared with flatter running shoes.
Forefoot running is better for your feet than heel strike running because it was found to reduce total loading over the foot by increaing cadence.
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!
One of the many functional assets of minimalist running shoes is a wide toe-box because it enables the toes to spread, flex, bend, extend and relax which is incredibly effective in improving both static and dynamic balance, but also helps disperse the little shock that’s produced in forefoot running as compared with narrow running shoes.
