Finite element modelling has become an efficient tool for an in-depth understanding of the
foot, footwear biomechanics and footwear optimization. The aim of this paper was to provide …

This systematic review aims to synthesise the effects of current shoe models in each shoe
category and their specific features on running economy, performance and biomechanics …

Providing runners with footwear that match their functional needs has the potential to
improve footwear comfort, enhance running performance and reduce the risk of overuse …

Many runners seek health professional advice regarding footwear recommendations to
reduce injury risk. Unfortunately, many clinicians, as well as runners, have ideas about how …

Placing a stronger focus on subject-specific responses to footwear may lead to a better
functional understanding of footwear's effect on running and its influence on comfort …

Recent studies identified a redistribution of positive mechanical work from distal to proximal
joints during prolonged runs, which might partly explain the reduced running economy …

Although various sports footwear demonstrated marked changes in running biomechanical
variables, few studies have yielded definitive findings on the underlying mechanisms of …

There is a sex bias for common overuse running injuries that are associated with sex-
specific hip kinematics. Gait retraining programs aimed at altering hip kinematics may be …

There is debate and confusion over how to evaluate the biomechanical effects of running
shoe design. Here, we use an evolutionary perspective to analyze how key design features …

Introduction The use of portable gait measurement systems in research is appealing to
collect real-world data at low-cost, low participant burden, and without requirement for …
