The Dangers of Super Shoes in Running

Golden Harper is a lifelong runner, biomechanics expert, and the creator & founder of Altra Footwear & P.R. Gear. He ran his first marathon at age 10 (3:08:05) and holds the world’s best for a 12-year-old in the marathon at 2:45:34. After growing up working in his family’s running store (which he now co-owns), he studied Exercise Science (with a focus on running technique/injuries & foot pathologies) at BYU and BYU-Hawaii, where he was an All-American Cross-Country runner. His life experiences, studies, and research led him to develop the world’s first foot-shaped, cushioned, zero-drop shoes, and now the FloatRun Harness technique training tool.
