Running Shoes
Running shoes
Running shoe list
Runners World shoe reviews
A paradox for thought .... which is the best running shoe?? Is there any doubt that running shoes have improved remarkably in the last 20 years ... if this is the case why does it appear that the incidence of running injury has not decreased ?

Some of our current research:
Some work we are doing in the Department of Podiatry is looking at measuring how much force is needed to supinate the foot - ie how much force is needed from a foot orthotic if we want to change the position of the foot. We have had several publications on this already and there are a lot more on the way. More information - supination resistance. We have found that the force to supinate the foot is more related to a number of foot problems than excessive pronation is (especially posterior tibial dyscfunction and recurrent ankle sprains). Supination resistance is also predictive of dynamic function, whereas most of the measurements routinely done in clinical practice are not predictive of dynamic function.

Forum's for those who are evenly balanced:
The Podiatry Forum
Almost Uncensored Podiatry Forum
I call them evenly balanced people as most posters to these two forums seem to have chips on both shoulders :-)
Anonymous posters in forums do not have much credibility in my book ... judge for yourself by checking these two sites.
And for those who want the real truth there is Podiatry Bytes .... yeah right! - I actually note that the almighty Google search engine does not even index this site .... probably reflects its importance....the site is also anonymous (there goes any credibility that it could have had).
