Sports shoes

Synopsis

Human feet are extraordinarily complex biomechanical structures and as such highly prone to stress and injury. Jogging and running impose surprisingly large loads on feet, several times the weight of the body, while the transfer of load from one part of the foot to another is only accompanied via a quite complicated and seemingly unnatural route. All of this calls for sports shoe design and construction in which the use of advanced composite materials helps to combat the many forces of wear, tear, jar and sweat to which our feet and frames may be exposed.
