Carbon fiber plate running shoes linked to bone stress injuries
Original: Bone Stress Injuries in Runners Using Carbon Fiber Plate Footwear
A new study raises concerns that runners wearing carbon fiber plate footwear may face a higher risk of bone stress injuries. The research suggests the stiff plates and thick cushioning alter loading patterns in the leg bones, potentially leaving some athletes more vulnerable to fractures. Runners and sports medicine specialists are weighing the finding against the shoes' proven performance benefits.
Why now: Carbon plate shoes are hugely popular among runners, so new safety evidence directly affects equipment choices.
