What would you say, however, if you Nike Blazer Haute Femmes found out that these categorizations of running shoes were meaningless? What if the tests employed by the salesperson weren¡¯t very good at determining pronation to begin with? Even more startling, what if the amount that you pronate wasn¡¯t even related to the likelihood that you might get injured? These are the types of questions that have been addressed in several recent scientific publications, and which were in turn summarized and reported on in a remarkable article by Gretchen Reynolds on the NY Times Well Blog. The results might be shocking to some, not so shocking to others, and they demand a response from those making the shoes that runners rely on to keep them running safe and injury free.
When you walk into a running shoe store, you are typically faced by a wall of colorful, ¡°high-tech¡± shoes that are neatly grouped into three categories (sometimes four if ¡°cushioned¡± is included as a distinct category). These categories are: neutral, stability/support, and motion control. How do you choose which shoe is right for you? Well, you might run across the store or on a treadmill for the salesperson, who watches you with an apparently slow-motion equipped eyeball (or if you¡¯re lucky, you get filmed), and they diagnose you as a severe or mild overpronator, a neutral runner, o Nike Flyknit Lunar r a supinator. Quick definition ¨C pronation is simply the inward/medial roll of the foot that occurs upon footstrike, whereas supination is when the foot rolls outward rather than inward. Alternatively, they might scan your foot in some way to assess your arch height. One way or another, the goal is to assign you to a shoe from one of the aforementioned categories ¨C high-arched supinators get cushioned shoes, severe overpronators with flat feet are placed in motion control shoes, mild overpronators are placed in stability/support shoes, and neutral runners are placed in neutral shoes. They then bring you a selection of shoes from the appropriate category, you try them on, and you choose the one that feels best. This is the way that it has been done for quite some time, and nearly every shoe manufacturer makes a selection of shoes that fits neatly into one of these groups.
As a physical therapist serving US Army soldiers, I am fascinated by the latest information coming out about what NOT to recommend for our soldiers. I am becoming a huge fan of the minimalist shoe, and am beginning to find that the soldiers that I serve, are discovering the JOY and the reduced pain from running in minimalist shoes,even those with severe pronation! More studies! We need more studies! :) Thanks for sharing
I haven¡¯t run in a pair of flyknits yet, but did try on both the Free 4.0 and 3.0 flyknits. My guess as far as the reason you might feel like you are sliding off the side of the shoe is that it seemed to me, because of the sock-like nature of the flyknit upper, you would want to size them snug and form fitting (like a sock) rather than like a more traditional shoe¡the flyknit has some inherent stretch to it and gives, much like a sock. Most trail shoes that fit securely for technical terrain, don¡¯t have a stretchy upper¡this can reduce comfort if the last shape of the shoe doesn¡¯t match your foot well Nike Flyknit Max , but is necessary for security IMO.
The women in the study were then sent off to take part in a 13-week training program to prepare for a half-marathon to be run in Vancouver, BC. Estimated weekly training volumes started around 20km and rose to a peak of about 40-45km. Over the course of the training program, researchers recorded the number of missed workouts due to injury by each runner, and reportings of pain at rest, during daily living, and following runs. Ultimately, only 81 of the women wound up completing th Nike Free 5.0 Pas Cher e study (for a variety of reasons, 24 women dropped out).
