Study finds highly cushioned running shoes increase leg stiffness and impact loading
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. The finding challenges the common assumption that extra cushioning protects runners' joints, suggesting runners may unconsciously adjust their stride to hit the ground harder. The research is recirculating among runners and fitness enthusiasts debating what footwear is actually safest.
Why now: Renewed interest in whether cushioned running shoes genuinely protect against injury, as minimalist and maximalist footwear debates continue.
