If I would guess a bit, I nike air max 2015 womens uk sale think that over-pronation is just one of many risk factors for getting an injury. Seen over a large group, over-pronation may be a much smaller risk factor than we have previously thought (Editor¡¯s note: indeed, this has been suggested by respected experts in running biomechanics ¨C see Nigg, 2001). That, combined with the fact that over-pronation in shoes is not easily predicted by a static test, could have contributed to the result of the BJSM study. Despite all of this, it would probably be unwise to say at this point that we can safely ignore over-pronation when we see it though.

In general, I¡¯ll admit that my view of a midfoot strike differs a bit from that promoted by the rocker concept. I define a midfoot strike as simultaneous contact of the heel and the pad under the fifth metatarsal. If you look at a pressure tracing for a midfoot strike, it starts right about where you have the midfoot pods on your shoe, but Nike Air Max 360 2011 Mens Trainers uk I think that¡¯s because those tracings average out the pressure distributed simultaneously at the heel and under the fifth met. As such, I¡¯m a bit skeptical of building up a shoe under the midfoot since it¡¯s not so much that this is the spot at which you want to contact, but that it¡¯s the midpoint between the actual contact points under the heel and forefoot. I think the phrase ¡°midfoot strike¡± is actually a bit of a misnomer, and that ¡°full-foot¡± might be a better descriptor of landing along that entire lateral margin simultaneously.

Conclusions

I¡¯ve broken my trail shoe picks into two categories based on terrain rather than racing or training categories like I did for my top road shoe post (coming tomorrow). For me, the main variable on the roads is how fast and far you are running, so it made sense to choose racing and training categories. For trail, the terrain dictates the demands on shoes to a greater degree and also impacts the design more than whether it is a training or racing model.

Another interesting aspect is the firmness of cushioning. A typical argument against uncushioned shoes is that asphalt and concrete are harder than natural materials. That is true. However, seldom do we point out that the cushioning in running shoes is actually much softer than most natural soils, so it is not really natural to the foot either. Using unnaturally soft cushioning for racing could be good for performance since it may delay fatigue in lower leg muscle Nike Air Max 2013 Kids uk sale s important for propulsion. But should it be used in training and for recreational running? Perhaps not. Shoes with cushioning claiming to be minimalist should probably have firmer midsoles than is common today. Since firmer soles also are more stable (not only firmer but thinner too), the pronation-exaggarating problem may go away as well.
