motion control for midfoot/forefoot strikers (Read 617 times)

Not necessarily. Your need for motion control depends on your overall posture and how strong the muscles are that stabilize your stride. Personally, I think relying on motion control shoes long-term is a mistake. It's better to strengthen the legs and feet until you can run naturally, and be less likely to get injured just because your shoes change on you.

Most of the motion control features on in the heel, and sometimes venture towards the midfoot. So if your are landing on your mid foot chances are your heel is striking as well, so there is a chance you may need motion control if your foot calls for it. Unless your "running on your toes" your heel is still striking.

The best way to describe my gate... The heel almost never touches the ground first... however it does touch the ground usually at some point in every step. (this is the definition for a mid foot runner correct?)
