Highly cushioned running shoes may increase impact loads on legs

Original: Running in highly cushioned shoes increases leg stiffness andimpact loading (2018)

A 2018 study published in Scientific Reports found that running in highly cushioned shoes increases leg stiffness and impact loading, rather than reducing it as many runners assume. The finding challenges the common belief that extra cushioning protects joints, resurfacing in discussion about running injury risk and shoe design.
