15. Pronation control is not a good basis New Balance 420 Womens Sale on which to choose a shoe, and should not be the foundation upon which such decisions are made (as is currently the situation). Read Nigg, 2001 for more. Benno Nigg also just published a book in which he tears apart the pronation control paradigm. Altra Instinct Jr. Altra is a relatively new company and they specialize in making ¡°zero drop,¡± foot shaped shoes (i.e., wide in the toebox). Zero drop means that the sole of the shoe is level from heel to forefoot, which is not the case for the vast majority of shoes on the market. Before they had even launched their first adult shoe, the founders of Altra told me that making a good kid¡¯s shoe was a top priority. Last year they released their first model: the Altra Instinct Jr. They sent me pairs for my two older kids to try out, and I have been quite impressed! (Disclosure: these shoes were media samples provided free of charge by Altra). Blaise DuboisAs I indicated in my previous post, I spent the past weekend in Shepherdstown, WV attending a three-day course called ¡°New Trends in the Prevention of Running Injuries.¡± The course is taught primarily by Blaise Dubois (see photo at left), a Canadian New Balance 2015 Running Shoes physiotherapist from Quebec City, with assistance from Sean Cannon, a physiotherapist and international level sprint canoe racer. I didn¡¯t get a chance to look through course materials prior to arriving, and as such had little idea of what to expect. However, I figured that any knowledge I could glean about running injuries would be helpful, particularly since I am once again teaching Exercise Physiology this semester at my college. What I left with was near complete validation of just about everything I believe in with regard to running injury prevention and running footwear. I can¡¯t tell you how good it feels to be in a room with a diverse group of forty-some people, including health care professionals, academics, shoe designers, writers, athletes, and form coaches who all largely agree that our current approach to running form and footwear is deeply flawed. I¡¯ll end this post by putting in another plug for Blaise and Sean¡¯s course ¨C it was a phenomenal experience, and one that I won¡¯t soon forget. If you want to read a bit about their philosophy, they have a short book that goes over many of the things that I have discussed in this post ¨C you can order it from their Does this mean that everyone experiencing forefoot pain should run out and buy a pair of Hokas or the Altra Paradigm/Olympus (I believe Scott also makes rocker sole shoes with a lower profile)? Not exactly. The rocker shoe in this study was stiff and heavy (almost 15oz per shoe), not a Hoka, so it¡¯s not necessarily possible to generalize the results. However, they do suggest that trying a shoe with a sole rocker might be worth a shot if you¡¯re dealing with nagging forefoot pain. 13. Simply increasing cadence (stride rate) may provide positive benefits in terms of joint loading. For example, Heiderscheit et al. 2011 showed that running with a faster cadence/higher stride rate (5-10% increase) reduced loading on th 2015 Mens New Balance e knee and hip, allowed for a more level carriage of the center of mass (less vertical oscillation), shortened stride length, and created less braking impulse. Read my post on the Heiderscheit paper here. Although I tend to prefer a bit of softish cushion in an easy run/distance shoe, I¡¯m not sure either of these will fit in my sweet spot, but it¡¯s interesting to see how shoe companies are starting to mix and match pieces of shoe design in different combinations. This can only be a good thing for runners a 2015 Womens New Balance s variation allows us all to find our own sweet spot. |
