Those shoes in the examples used are the alpha flys and they are strictly race day shoes, usually only 1-2 races. You don’t train in these everyday and they are the way they are for performance purposes. That foam in the heel drop is zoomX foam, which has an 85% energy return rate which means it reduces foot fatigue so that you can keep you pace for a lot longer. That rocking curve at the toe is called rocker geometry and it’s for the purpose of keeping you in stride (because it’s a long distance running shoe made for marathon races, so you’ll always be in motion). The shoes are also fitted with a carbon plate that will further propel you, and zoom pod units at the front for extra spring and impact absorption

So, I have wide feet, normal shoes usually don’t fit me. Since normal shoes didn’t properly fit me I started to explore an now use almost exclusively 0 drop barefoot shoes for walking every day. I also run ultramarathons. For training on trails I use Altra lone peak 8 and I ran with them up to 65km with no problem. On race days or for race sims I use Hoka Speedgoat 5 wide or Salomon Speedcross 6 wide, depending on terrain. For me it works out perfectly to train in 0 drop shoes and get the additional edge on a race day. 0 drop shoes just activate more muscle groups and for people who are not used to walking barefoot or are used to regular shoe it can be difficult at the beginning to adapt. For me it was worth it.

Guys, wear running shoes for running. Elevated heels for squatting, and barefoot shoes or barefoot for the rest. Do not run a marathon or on concrete in barefoot shoes.

Use the proper tool for the exercise you are preforming.

Agreed except for squatting/weightlifting. Converse have always been the go-to for me (barefoot for some people). Lifted heels are said to be bad because you lose calf strength given your calves start partially contracted from the shoe's heel lift which weakens your overall lifting strength.

I have a tarsal coalition, which is where some of the bones in my feet are fused together.

That is, until I went out and bought the biggest, pillowiest, most supportive running shoes I could find. And it was an absolute game changer. After one month I've already run my first 5k with ZERO pain, and I'm going to keep adding mileage until I reach my current goal of a half marathon. I've decided that from now on, I'll take running advice from people who can actually run.

He says he's talking about everyday wear though. Barefoot is extremely all or nothing, you cannot be a barefoot shoe wearer and do race day in the high heel drop speed shoe. That doesn't mean the general ranking is speed shoe>regular shoe>barefoot shoe, it just means that on race day, speed shoe>barefoot shoe. Since they have to be able to wear the speed shoes, they obviously can't wear barefoot shoes. No problem if you don't like barefoot shoes, but this particular situation doesn't really have anything to do with regular vs barefoot shoes. You can find low heel drop, wide toe box, no toe lift regular shoes, they're just hard to find (and exactly what most runners want). Barefoot shoes are characterized by a lack of padding, which isn't required to meet these other three requirements.

I agree that during the race, high heel drop is useful, but that doesn't mean it's the best for daily use too.

No need to overthink shoe design as nature will run its own course. It’s really odd anyone would make a argument for a naturalistic design vs industry design when the environment you’re using it in is far from natural aka cement, concrete, and asphalt. Sure you can run flat or barefoot but do so past 20 and you won’t be running for very long. Just buy what all the pros are wearing as they spend the most time running and they’re wearing it for their own reasons.

Case in point you will change immediately after kitting your foot on a corner at home or pick up your feet and not drag them after stepping on uneven ground and almost tripping. Granted not all shoes are the same and simply creating custom shoes for everyone would drive the cost to insanely higher prices just above middle class bracket like the olden days where you had professions like shoe fitters/makers.

Regardless of what or who the shoe is designed for, the average kid that begs their parents for them won't know they're not for everyday wear or training (and probably don't care). So, foot, ankle, leg, and hip development issues will start and compromise them in their adult years. My wife deals with similar ankle mobility issues that came from her parents buying shoes that were too big behind the premise that she "would grow into them", which is not ALWAYS the case. Now, she has an issue with her ankle rolling from everyday activities (like walking). Doctors said they'd have to break both ankles and reset them to fix it. When I met her at 18, she swore she wore a size 9 shoe; I went to the shoe store and discovered she wore a 6 woman's (5.5 youth). She had boots with heels that were size 9, so positioning her foot to walk & stand at young ages (13-20) created ankle issues.

Of course you’re running shoe is not good if you’re wearing it all day long! All coaches have their runners doing, barefoot training, and yoga these days to make the foot stronger. Zero drop shoes and minimalist support have given a lot of money to orthopedist who are treating stress fractures, plantar fasciitis, And many other foot injuries. Yes, a 90 pound Ethiopian can run barefoot for 10 miles but a 200 pound 6 foot 4 inch running back would injure himself after three of those runs with out serious shoe support. I like that you’re calling out Nike. They’re running shoes generally suck and are made for very narrow feet and are more of a fashion statement.

The type of running shoe that is best for you depends on various factors, including your running style, foot shape, gait, and personal preferences. Flat sole shoes, also known as minimalist or barefoot-style shoes, have gained popularity in recent years for running due to their lightweight and natural feel. However, whether they are the proper choice for you depends on your individual needs and running biomechanics. Here are some considerations to keep in mind when choosing running shoes: 1. **Running Style**: If you have a neutral running style and a biomechanically efficient gait, flat sole shoes may work well for you. However, if you overpronate or supinate, you may benefit from shoes with more support and cushioning. 2. **Foot Shape**: The shape of your foot can influence the type of shoe that is most comfortable and supportive for you. Some people with high arches may prefer minimalist shoes, while others with flat feet may need more support. 3. **Training Volume and Surface**: Consider the type of running you do and the surfaces you run on. If you run long distances or on hard surfaces, you may need more cushioning and support to reduce the risk of injury. 4. **Injury History**: If you have a history of foot, ankle, or lower limb injuries, it's important to choose shoes that provide adequate support and stability to prevent further issues. 5. **Comfort and Feel**: Ultimately, the most important factor is how the shoes feel on your feet. It's essential to try on different shoes and go for a run or walk to see how they perform for you. Before making a decision, consider visiting a specialty running store where experts can analyze your gait, foot shape, and running style to recommend the best type of shoe for you. It's also a good idea to consult with a sports medicine professional or a podiatrist if you have specific concerns or conditions that may affect your choice of running shoes. 🙏👌

There is a difference between a race shoe and an everyday training shoe. The fact that they make you faster does not change the fact that they are not healthy for the feet. I understand why professional runners were them because every detail is important on the elite level. And if non elite runners want to waste their money for a marginal gain at the local 10k, they are of course free to do so.

I think we have seen more running related injuries due to people wearing Vibram 5 Fingers than we have with super shoes. Shoes like the Nike Alphafly(shown here) and Hoka One One, etc are designed to lessen the impact and wear and tear on the body caused by long distance running. The toe spring is also designed to help with overall running economy too. These 40mm+ super shoes aren’t designed for lifestyle wear but marathon racing and even originally 50-100 mile ultra marathons to help with leg fatigue over such a long distance. It definitely helps to know all of the facts.

I swear these are the casual “runners” who give the entire running community a bad reputation sometimes. Narrow toe boxes are not a feature of every single running shoe, but they are good for loading up in power. Bunching up your toes is a good way to make sure your shoe doesn’t slide around, and it’s necessary. Raised heel is because cushioning exists WHICH YOU NEED. Your body is not “naturally” designed to run on pavement. Your body is not naturally designed to run on super flat areas. Cushioning lessens the impact on your feet, causing less joint issues, less foot issues, and less impact issues. It also makes you less tired, and gives more performance. I’m sick and tired of people acting as if all running shoes are wrong from wearing a pair of Nikes. Like jesus christ wear something like a Hoka or Brooks, you’ll get it.

Why not tell people not to casually wear and train in highly specialized running shoes?

Most shoes fall victim to the same traps as running shoes. It’s that in running shoes it’s most exaggerated

@@Prophet311 traps? You mean most people don’t wear them for their intended purpose and then blame the shoe

Why do they keep making sneakers with these heels? You run the risk of a rolling ankle. Flat sneakers are better.

Because of Nike. You can watch a documentary to see how they did it but tldr: basically wanted to make jogging popular and wanted to showcase Nike air so co came up with heel striking when most people forefoot/ toe strike.

These are specifically designed for marathon running, the world record holders use these to get that extra edge in their timing. The alpha fly has a carbon fiber plate in it to help spring you forward. It’s not a shoe for casual walking or jogging

You can see I the first shot exactly how the foot is left sitting when in the shoe and it looks completely natural. I’m not a foot doctor but this seems fishy that your saying all these shoe technology’s are bad for the foot despite the fact that the foot looks completely normal and not bunched up into some weird position your suggesting it is. Also these shoes specifically are the current best designed shoe for running and we’re breaking records before being released, you really think Nike is trying to hurt and disable its elite athletes with its highest spec shoe?

Actually damping can be negative when one runs with an improper technique. When landing on the heel because of the raised heel, the damping will make one land harder as the feet want more stability. That can aggravate the forces on the knee. Best shoe is no shoe or as minimal, thin, flexible, wide and zero drop as possible.

NOTE: all these can be easily addressed by just properly training both in mobility and strength

I highly recommend the Altra Superior line. If you can get your hands on them, the 4.5s, if not just get the latest one

I literally just brought Nike Revolution 7s I'm assuming that was a bad mistake. But I'm only wearing them to work out/jogging

The reason Usain Bolt was the greatest sprinter was because he ran barefoot for some years.

I always seem to have the problem that the arch support is taller than my fully lifted arch, which makes me want to supinate, a rolled ankle risk and improper weight distribution in the foot. Only reason I don't use a "barefoot" shoe is because when I do run (not that often) I don't have access to a natural surface to run on.
