Acute effects of barefoot, minimal shoes and running shoes on lower limb mechanics in rear and forefoot strike runners Max Robert Paquette, Songning Zhang & Lucas Dahl Baumgartner Footwear Science; Volume 5, Issue 1, 2013 Quote: Barefoot or minimal footwear running is currently a highly debated topic among runners and researchers. Several footwear companies have developed minimal running footwear to simulate barefoot running but few studies have compared minimal footwear to barefoot and shoes during running. The primary goal of this study was to compare acute changes in three-dimensional (3D) ground reaction forces (GRFs) and lower limb kinematics and kinetics of habitually shod rearfoot strike (RFS) and forefoot strike (FFS) runners between minimal shoes (MSH), barefoot and neutral cushion running shoes (SH).
