The purpose of this study was to investigate the running gait analysis between different mass of shoes. Eleven male college runners from the physical education department participated in this study. The mass of experimental shoes of this study were 175 g, 255 g, 335 g and 41 5 g. When the weight of shoes increased, the maximum vertical ground reaction force increased. and the footstrike patterns changed to mid-foot strike (MFS). The center of pressure shifted forward, and the runner changed to MFS. The strike index of the strike patterns change to MFS pattern that is self-protection mechanism. Heavy shoes increase ground reaction force, thus might increasing lower extremity injuries risk.

So, it has nothing to do with mass, but with cushioning.

The current study investigated the effects of shoes of different weights on calf individual muscle contributions during a running cycle. Twenty male runners ran on a force platform with shoes of four different weights (175 g, 255 g, 335 g, and 415 g). The study evaluated runners’ lower extremity muscle forces under the four shoe weight conditions using a musculoskeletal modeling system. The system generates equality and inequality constraint equations to simulate muscle forces. The individual muscle contributions in each calf were determined using these muscle forces. Data were compared using one-way repeated-measure ANOVA. The results revealed significant differences in the contributions of the gastrocnemius lateralis. Post hoc comparisons revealed that running in the 175 g shoes resulted in a larger contribution of the gastrocnemius lateralis than running in the 415 g shoes during the braking phase. Therefore, wearing lightweight shoes while running may promote fatigue in the gastrocnemius muscle during the braking phase. The calf muscle activation results may indicate that an adaptation period is warranted when changing from heavy to lightweight shoes.
