(1) Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a rounded heel shoe (RHS) and rounded lateral heel shoe (RLHS) on impact and lower extremity stability as well as their relationships with comfort during running. (2) Methods: Twenty healthy male adults participated in the study. The data were collected using eight infrared...

... normal shoes (NS) utilized were commercially available (Figure 2, left). The RHS was a modified NS with a curved shape 5 mm higher than the NS in the central heel (Figure 2, middle). The RLHS had a curved shape of about 15° laterally, and it was manufactured 3 mm higher (Figure 2, right) compared with the NS. ...

The RLHS had a curved shape of about 15° laterally, and it was manufactured 3 mm higher (Figure 2, right) compared with the NS. The shoes used in this study were manufactured and provided by the same manufacturer (LS Networks, Korea) to keep the shoe materials and structures the same except for the differences in the curved shape of the outsole. ...

It is unclear whether military shoes (combat boots and sports shoes) attenuate loading rate or affect force transfer during walking. Therefore, this study compared ground reaction forces (GRF) related to impact and force transfer between combat boots, military sports shoes and running shoes. Ten army recruits walked over a walkway with two force pl...

... These findings subsequently link both increased medial midfoot pressure and reduced ankle eversion to increased comfort perception, indicating a potential to utilize midfoot pressure data as a method of estimating frontal plane motion of the foot. Running research has shown inversion-eversion range of motion to contribute negatively (β = −0.268) to subjective footwear comfort within a regression analysis (Ryu et al., 2021). Over a series of studies maximum pronation has been shown to have a mixed effect on comfort, with both negative correlations (r = −0.12 to −0.38) showing greater maximum pronation to be associated with improved overall footwear liking, and a positive correlation (r = 0.28) showing decreases in maximum pronation to improve overall footwear liking (Hennig, 2017). ...
