Choosing the right shoes for your feet especially when you are running is a must. Those shoes that are purposely made for running have special features. You should choose them correctly.

Sorry, but I do not see that!

Starting about 37secs, seems to be almost a full foot landing, but definitely not a heel strike. I replayed the video upwards of 20 times. Do not see a heel strike. Dr. Larson or anybody else see differently?!

I agree, I saw no heel strike in the video.

Just a month or so ago Nike introduced their adaptive fit as the next big thing in fitting technology, now they`re introducing more than a few new shoes with flyknit. So it goes, I guess.

I’ll wait for the drop numbers… and being able to try them on. I’ll admit that my first minimal trainer/racer was the Waffle Racer, which I ignorantly thought was the best thing… Now I can’t even put them on, they’re so narrow.

Nike customer service reports a 10mm drop on the Racer (11mm on the Trainer).

Look at the change in the runner's footstrike on the promotional video. Barefoot -- mid/forefoot strike. In the Nike Flyknit, almost a full heel strike. Hmmm.

Have you thought about reviewing the blade-foot run by kswiss... zero drop shoe that weighs about 9oz.
