do my 12mm shoes have any correlation to the amount of injuries that i have? it seems like i’ve tried everything for ever injury and they keep recurring or something new comes, but i haven’t switched my shoes at all. injuries have been PF, shin splints, ITBS, extensor tendonitis, peroneal tendonitis, shin splints (worse than ever) part 2 now.
so like i asked, could the 12mm clunky heavy shoes be doing this!m? anyone have any similar experiences?
Are the shoes old? Old shoes with too many miles on them lose their structure and your feet arent flat when you run, they will sink to the part of the shoe that has the most wear.
I mean, maybe. No one can really say. People react differently to shoes. If you haven't switched your shoes at all and keep getting injured it's worth changing them. Don't go straight to 0mm though. You need to change gradually. I'd get some 5mm ones and then 0mm. I prefer barefoot style shoes.

Are you running in military boots? Are we playing 20 questions?
In my experience high drop shoes tend to lead to plantar issues, low drop shoes can occasionally lead to achilles tendon issues. 4-8mm drop is the sweet spot for me.
I realize that someone bumped a 9 month old thread but for the record...
In conclusion, the heel-to-toe drop of running shoes can influence the running pattern and loading on the lower extremity joints. Running in shoes with large drops significantly increased the knee extension moment and decreased the ankle eversion moment during the standing phase. These findings suggest that running shoes with large drops may be disadvantageous for runners with knee weakness and advantageous for runners with ankle weakness
The heel-to-toe drop of running shoes is a key parameter influencing lower extremity kinematics during running. Previous studies testing running shoes with lower or larger drops generally used minimalist or maximalist shoes,...

Mix it up. Keep your Brooks but rotate with a 2nd pair with a lower heel drop - like Saucony Kinvaras or Hoka Rincons. Only do slow miles and low volume with the 2nd pair to start but over time I think you will be better off injury-wise. Worked for me.
