Like most shoes, low and zero drop shoes seem to work well for some and not so well for others. To be clear, this isn’t a rant against low drop shoes. I have run in them off and on over the years, and have had many athletes do well with them. However, I have also had to work with the problems they can cause, and get frustrated with the lack of choices in higher drop shoes.
