Description
Traditional running shoes feature a 10-12mm “heel-to-toe drop” (meaning they have an extra 10-12mm cushioning underneath your heels relative to your toes). By contrast, minimalist shoes usually have less than an 8mm drop. Sometimes they have no drop at all, meaning your heel and forefoot are at the same level, as they are when you’re barefoot; these are called “zero-drop” shoes.
