Scientific rumblings about whether running shoes deliver on their promises have been growing louder in recent years. In 2008, an influential review article in The British Journal of Sports Medicine concluded that sports-medicine specialists should stop recommending running shoes based on a person’s foot posture. No scientific evidence supported the practice, the authors pointed out, concluding that “the true effects” of today’s running shoes “on the health and performance of distance runners remain unknown.”
The problem with assessing your foot posture and then recommending a certain shoe type (cushiony/soft or supportive/rigid or middle-of-the-road) is that your static foot posture is not necessarily indicative of your foot rhythm in gait. I tend to overpronate on my right foot and yet I have very high arches. The shoe salesmen from this article would tell me I need a cushiony shoe because of my overpronation, and yet a rigid shoe for my high arches. See? Ridiculous. I'm proud of the researcher quoted at the end of the article because he recommends readers listen to their body and pick running shoes based on that. Yay! One point for our side! Researchers don't usually recommend kinesthetic awareness because they like to measure things, and subjective thoughts are impossible to objectively measure.
I'm barefoot most of the time because that's what Pilates instructors do, but when I do wear shoes I often pick my Vibram toe gloves. I just wish they were flesh colored, because I'm 5'2" and wear a size 9 shoe. I look like *$&%* Minnie Mouse.
