BURGER, J W; DE VILLIERS, R e DERMAN, W. If the shoe fits... should you just wear it? A complete calcaneal stress fracture in a female recreational runner. SA J. Sports Med. [online]. 2020, vol.32, n.1, pp.1-3. ISSN 2078-516X. http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2078-516x/2020/v32i1a8522.
Shoe choice by runners may follow trends related to purported generalised benefits rather than following an individual risk-benefit analysis. The benefits and risks related to minimalist footwear for running has been a much debated topic. The authors report a case of a complete calcaneal stress fracture in an otherwise healthy female recreational runner in the first three weeks following her conversion from a traditional cushioned running shoe to a minimalist type of running shoe. Clinicians should be aware of the potential added bone stress with reduced cushioning and the potential risks in transitioning to new footwear.
