So now that we have deemed super cushioned shoes to be bad for your joints in the long run, does this make chuck taylors ok again since they have little support? as long as you dont heel strike?

yeah, pretty much!

if you're doing a good mid-foot strike, chuck-t's are the way to go.

Yes you should always run like that tutorial shows.

I mean running in chuck taylors? Or is the arch support thing a myth too? Just wondering
