Getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to
remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

thumbs up!
Why is it sideways?
I think it has more to do with the feet being cold and tight than the shoe. The feet, much more than the shoe, are what reduce shock and provide balance. The foot is complicated and must warm up, just like everything else.

I notice this only when the temps get into the single digits. Something else that I think has a bigger impact is that all of the surfaces are harder once the ground freezes. I run on ashphalt and gravel and the gravel is noticeably harder when frozen.
