Effects of heel-toe drop on running biomechanics and perceived comfort of rearfoot strikers in standard cushioned running shoes

Effects of heel-toe drop, which is the height difference between the rearfoot and forefoot parts of the shoe, have been studied during running in minimalist shoe models. However, these types of shoes also feature low heel stack height. Effects of heel-toe drop remain largely unknown during running in cushioned shoes, which usually present a standard heel stack height (e.g. 21 mm). The purpose of this study was to investigate the isolated effect...
