* '''Cushioning'''. Shoes vary in the mount of cushioning they provide. There is reasonable scientific evidence that higher levels of cushioning increase stresses on joints and have higher rates of injury. However, cushioning is also one way shoes provide protection from stones (the other is inflexibility). Cushioning can also reduce foot soreness on longer ultramarathons.

* '''Weight'''. The weight of a shoe makes a big difference in the [[Running Economy| energy cost of running]]. Even small changes in weight can make a big difference in how fast we run. The weight in parenthesis is my measurement, which is size 9.5-11.0 depending on the shoe. This helps compensate for shoes that claim to be lighter by making their shoes small for any given size.

* '''Performance Penalty. '''Most studies show that for each 3.5oz/100g of shoe weight performance drops by 1%. The figures here are based on running a 4 hour marathon, which is 9:09 min/mile or 5:41 min/Km pace. For example, a 9oz shoe would reduce performance by 2.6%, which is 10.9 seconds/mile or 6.8 seconds/Km., or close to 5 minutes on the overall marathon.
