Is it the shoes? It's gotta be the shoes.

Same runner, same day, with no instruction given in between videos. On the left, correct nice SHOE LESS forefoot strike. On the right, incorrect, with SHOES, heel strike, braking, straining. Sneakers are designed to affect the way our foot strikes the ground, yet in this video you see it affects what we do in the air. Try this experiment yourself. Video that was inspiration for Harvard Study.

I can barely hear the guy
druday999 (2 weeks ago)
coz though they do not provide the best cushioning they do not provide more (and unwanted - as nj suggests) cushioning at the heel. It helps especially to avoid shin splints (i have personally experienced shin splints on more than one occasion trying to run with a heel strike for longer than 20 minutes and have seen and felt the difference made by running with your ankle in a more neutral position throughout the run - its certainly better.
druday999 (2 weeks ago)
pretty good analysis...just wonder if the right way going forward would be to have more cushioning in the forefoot region of the shoe than the heel....well...with that not happening in the real world i guess the ' fivefingers vibram ' or some support system of that kind would be more appropriate (but still not ideal) for most beginners (there definitely are exceptions) to learn the right technique -
TheKrypteian (2 weeks ago)
Wow guys, really. His point isn't about shoes; it's about the running form. You can run with shoes just heel-striking may pose some problems.
crusher1427 (3 weeks ago)
Nature didn't intend us to wear shoes ? Well nature made our minds, which spontaneously gave rise to shoes because it had to be done. yes we were intended to wear shoes, but the purpose is protection from the surface of the road rather than power. you use more force without shoes but you can't work in a construction zone without them !
mark95427 (1 month ago)
@rundadinella i'm 15... The shoes I bought from road runners make my upper-calves/behind-knee area feel terrible. Note: I got "Stability" shoes that have huge heel support. With such a large amount of support on the heels and less support on the forefoot, my midfoot touches the ground when running. It's usually a flat landing (not heel strike). The exceptions are uphills (forefoot). In my converse shoes, playing b-ball, I feel great. I'm in cross country and on the high school basketball team
Jouwl (1 month ago)
@rundadinella You're forgetting that the shoes have soles and more importantly the soles are a lot thicker at the heel. You can't run in shoes like you'd run barefoot, not really.
jokergd (1 month ago)
@jeffmefun slow down a bit and shorten your stride and and increase cadence... also bend your knees and slightly bend at the hips/lean forward
jokergd (1 month ago)
@write2david2 no, rundadinella is just on crack.
CornsilkSW (1 month ago)
good demonstration, but with some editing it would be a smooth little tutorial. You could chop this down to a minute.
write2david2 (1 month ago)
@njsportsmed So, the runner in the video did indeed *purposely* run differently in the two videos?
jeffmefun (1 month ago)
Any thoughts on impact of toes pointing up even when running barefoot? I've been using VFF and have been getting blisters, but believe I may be pointing toes up when landing and exaggerating the force on footpads when landing....

If God wanted us stomping around with nikes he would have put them on us in the womb. I'm pretty sure our feet are fine without 2 inch heel pads.
Danthemanlyman7 (2 months ago)
For most of human history, people having been wearing either sandals, mocassins, or some similar form of minimalist footwear. Only in the last few decades have we seen giant foam-soled shoes. Yet some arrogant consumerists think they know better than thousands of years of experience.

pphillbbert1 (2 months ago)
@Cry0Tek88 I agree Fivefingers are the way to go, but nothing beats running completely barefoot. Modern running shoes have been around for only 30 years or so, the human foot has been with us since we evolved or God created us. Which ever you prefer. Why do we think that humans can some how create something better (Modern running shoe) than what nature has already provided. pronation issue no longer matter when you release your foot from the prison of shoes. try it what have you got to lose?
burntonion05 (3 months ago)
Since I have stopped running heel to toe my running has improved a lot. I used to get pains in the knees, shins, and even tingling sensations in my arms which made me afraid that I was straining my back discs. Now I run pain free and concentrate on landing on my toes. I wish I knew this 25 years ago. Thanks

Oh, please ! Whisper into the microphone. :| Can't hear shit. Why bother doing videos you can barely hear anything ?
Freedish911 (3 months ago)
I can't argue with this evidence. It's more natural and more healthy to run barefoot. Unfortunately most of us don't know how to run correctly barefoot because we've been trained to run with shoes our whole life. But it's not irreversible. Even an average person like this can take off their shoes and naturally have better form.
Thjeko (3 months ago)
I'am glad to read this comment from njsports, as this is so true; "Agree. Nobody has perfect form. If everything else is done correctly (more vids to come), the foot lands where it is supposed to". For some, the transition to unshod running will go fine. For others (the majority) it won't and injury may occur. This group will highly benefit from a little more understanding about "how to run" and the development of necessary skills, which will lead to better running with less risk of injury.

Hal2pointooh (3 months ago)
I had plantar fasciitis last fall, and after some useless treatments, I still could not run. After buying ASIC $100.00 GT 2140's, I still could not run well. I took off my shoes in frustration and ran a good mile before I got acorns in my soles LOL. It is more than just your mind, these shoes do change your run physiology! I now run in crappy Wal-Mart no support shoes that let me land right, and keep acorns outta my toes!! Just a thought! Easy to try yourself!
LarryDean6987 (3 months ago)
@rundadinella: "purposely" almost implies that the videographer is dishonest. The poster clearly states this was the same day with no instruction given. His point IS "that easy" - there are clear differences in injury risk and efficiency (ability to run faster for the same energy output) between the two techniques. Some people can run fast inefficiently, and others still run slow efficiently, but that people DO run different ways doesn't mean that "you must run both ways."
