How Do You Feel About The Newer Minimal Shoes Reducing Joint Impact? Is There Science To Support That Or Just Good Marketing? |
|
Answer» Minimalist SHOES CAN NOT reduce joint impact – only decreasing your body weight can do that. What the shoes have been shown to do is CHANGE a person’s foot STRIKE pattern from a heel strike pattern to more of a mid-foot strike, and this change can sometimes be helpful in alleviating CONDITIONS like plantar fasciitis and Achilles TENDONITIS.
