Read before buying your next running shoe!

🏃‍♀️ Do running shoes really prevent injuries? 🏃‍♂️

A Cochrane review looked at whether different types of running shoes can help prevent lower‑limb injuries in adult runners.

Running shoes are made with features intended to limit foot movement or reduce the forces on the body, with the aim of lowering the risk of injury. So, what does the evidence say?

Here is what we found:

👟Neutral/cushioned shoes may make little or no difference to injuries compared to minimalist shoes (low‐certainty evidence)

👟It is uncertain if motion control shoes reduce lower‐limb injuries compared with neutral/cushioned shoes

👟Soft midsole shoes may make little or no difference compared with hard midsole shoes (low‐certainty evidence)

👟It’s uncertain if stability shoes reduce injury compared with neutral/cushioned shoes

👟It is uncertain whether or not motion control shoes reduce injury compared with stability shoes

👟Prescribing running shoes and selecting on foot posture probably makes little or no difference (moderate‐certainty evidence)

There is no strong evidence that choosing a particular kind of running shoe will help you avoid injury. More high‑quality research is needed.
