Do running shoes reduce injury risk?

Recently I was interviewed by a reporter from active.com about running shoes. They were trying to find out if running shoes prevented injury. I was happy to talk about the evidence as there are many trends that become en vouge even when there is no evidence or they are contrary to the evidence. Follow the link below for the article

It was nice to see the positive feedback in the comments sections including “That’s the first _sound_ advice I read in years”! I am pleased to be able to share some of the knowledge I learn from the research I read, and am glad people are enjoying reading it!
