Carbon Fiber Plate Shoes Linked to Bone Stress Injuries in Runners

Original: Bone Stress Injuries in Runners Using Carbon Fiber Plate Footwear

A medical literature review examines reports of bone stress injuries among runners wearing carbon fiber plate footwear, the super-shoes popularized by elite marathon racing. The article suggests the thick, stiff soles may alter loading patterns on foot and leg bones, potentially raising injury risk for some runners. Runners and coaches are debating whether the performance gains outweigh the possible health trade-offs.

Why now: Carbon plate shoes are now widely used by everyday runners, so any suggestion they raise injury risk draws broad attention.
