Understanding Stability in Running Shoes
Stability in running shoes has evolved beyond just correcting foot posture. The concept now focuses on facilitating individual movement patterns for shock absorption and forward propulsion. Past approaches centered on correcting foot pronation with stiff medial posts, but the current understanding acknowledges the complexity of human motion. Different shoe features like sidewalls, sole flares, and internal geometry play a crucial role in providing stability and guiding forward motion.
