Heel striking when you run is a common fault for a lot of athletes, particularly those who do longer distances.

It creates a lot of stress on the leg joints in both the ankle and knee and also tends to slow you down if you strike the ground significantly in front of your centre of gravity. 

Here is an idea for a new type of running shoe.  The concept is certainly good, but I think testing is required with significant number of athletes to ensure the problems it cures don't lead to other issues.

Could it be like many of those products that appeared on Tomorrows World, never to be heard of again, or is this truly the breakthrough that many runners have been looking for in their quest to run faster without pain or injury.   

Why not have a look at www.heelless.co.uk and see what you think.  It would be great to hear your comments on these shoes, it is always good to hear what Momentum Sports visitors think.
