Minimalist involves running in light, flexible footwear with no cushion or a raised heel, to allow the foot to move naturally, restore strength and proprioception, and to improve foot strike.
Are Minimalist Shoes Good for Your Feet?
Minimalist running shoes prevent injury by encouraging mechanical engagements, such as increased arch mobility and compression, which makes the foot better at holding your stride mechanics more stable and prevents increases in impacts from spreading out onto the rest of the leg!
