New-generation running shoes are being developed with the aim of enhancing an athlete's stride length and propulsion force. But what do podiatrists think about these innovative "super shoes"?

In this podcast, Dr. Daniel Bastock explores this concept with Damir Metljak, a sports podiatrist based in Adelaide, South Australia. They discuss the biomechanical implications of these shoes, the potential for increased injury risk, and how to design the ideal orthotic to complement the unique characteristics of this footwear.
