Development and testing of a new type of "barefoot running shoe": The freeheel runningpad
(Entwicklung und Tests eines neuen Typs von Barfuß-Laufschuhen: Die Einlage mit freier Ferse)
Background: Common barefoot running shoes or minimal footwear have one or several of the following properties/deficiencies, depending on the type and brand and personal taste:
- Coverage of a considerable fraction of the foot.s surface with textile/plastic leading to sub-optimal foot climate (overheating, sweating, odor)
- Considerable weight for a true barefoot shoe
- Toe pockets that do not fit with non-standard feet
- Considerable size and thickness, in particular in the heel section of the protective sole for a true barefoot shoe
- Positive drop and therefore a change in the biomechanics compared to barefoot running
We wanted to design a new type of shoe that would be as close as possible to real barefoot running and thereby overcome one or several of these perceived deficiencies. Whether this would lead to a reduction or increase in running related injuries and how to best train with the new shoes is not within the scope of this article.
