Article form Lower Extremity Review
The whole article is worth a read, but it supports what the minimal runners have talked about for a long time. Too much padding can produce injury just as quickly as not enough.
Personal opinion? too many of us think we know how to run, but we don’t really know how to run to protect our bodies. Running with good, safe, form is really hard. Most of us have spent so much of our lives in shoes with heel to toe drops and right to left support that our bodies have forgotten how to absorb the impacts through our feet.
That means, you cannot just ‘switch’ shoes, you have to work towards less padding slowly. Apply a method, and most importantly, listen to your body. If something hurts, figure out why.
