I appreciate this info and from someone who might understand how years stack up on joints. A take away I had was a high offset causes injuries in knees and hips which (I think) would be far more serious than ankle injuries. I have used brooks (high offset) for years but now that I am getting a bit older I am looking to hedge against knee problems. Thanks for the info
I partially disagree on higher stack gives more impact resistance. Running in lower drop shoes using good form allows your foot and legs to act like the springs they were ment to be. Running in high stack/higher drop (at least for me) favours the heel strike, where I can feel the impact transfer straight to the knees. Switching to low stack saved my previously screwed up knee and strengthened all kinds of muscles in the feet in legs that barely got a workout in high stack. Love the Saucony Freedom 3s though. They were how I transitioned from higher stack to low stack low drop shoes.
Thanks for sharing and offering your shoe experience. It could help others. Keep in mind that high stack does not mean high drop (or vice versa). I do agree that high stack increases the probability of heel strike. At the end of the day, what matters is finding a shoe that works well for an individual and sticking with it. Thanks for watching the video. I appreciate it!
