Emerging Fervour

I kid you not but yes they are! Well… they are still not the healthiest but at least a new study reported in the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation’s journal has found that runners who wear typical, modern running shoes do more damage to their hip, knee and ankle joints than running while barefoot or wearing high-heeled shoes.

The research was based on 68 healthy female runners with an average age of 37 years old. They provided each of them with a typical running shoe and collected data on their joints using a motion analysis system while they ran on a treadmill with the sneakers and barefoot.

What would you do? Stop running, run in heels or barefoot?
