Highly Cushioned Running Shoes May Increase Leg Stiffness and Impact Loads
Original: Running in highly cushioned shoes increases leg stiffness andimpact loading (2018)
A 2018 study published in Scientific Reports found that running in highly cushioned shoes increases leg stiffness and impact loading, the opposite of what many runners expect from maximalist footwear. The finding, which has resurfaced in discussion online, challenges the marketing idea that extra cushioning protects joints, and is prompting renewed debate about shoe choice and running injury risk.
Why now: Runners and fitness enthusiasts are revisiting the counterintuitive finding that softer shoes may actually raise impact forces
