Like most people, I'm starting to look at some of the new carbon plated shoes...after all it's 'free speed'...
However, I have heard from several physios that a lot of people are experiencing calf and hamstring injuries from them. From what I have been told, it seems that they create a lot of force that has to be controlled - If you are not biochemically very strong stable you may have problems.
Where I am getting confused is some people / manufacturers (?) have said that these shoes should reduce injuries. As someone who is very prone to calf strains, I'm hesitant to try them...but at the same time, really want to.
Has anyone had any experience with this?
