Why do we care?
“I started working with Gait Happens two years ago to strengthen my feet and address a bunion that was giving me issues.
After making a lot of progress in those areas, I was still finding myself rolling my ankle a lot on the trails. Courtney suggested a zero drop shoe (there’s no place for your ankle to roll if it’s already on the ground)! The idea of zero drop shoes honestly never appealed to me. I really enjoyed all my springy, foamy shoes, but I figured I would give it a try.
Since we had done all the work to strengthen my feet and calves, the switch to zero drop was seamless. Within 2 weeks a funny thing happened, all my aches and pains that used to bother me after a run or upon waking up, were gone! I’d made the switch in shoes to help me with stability on the trails, but I never expected to see such dramatic changes in how my body felt.
I have now converted all my running shoes to zero drop!
I just completed (and won) a 6 -day trail stage race and not only did I not fall a single time, but my body held up so well throughout the week. These shoes have been a huge game changer for me!”
