PS. The systemic sexism of the shoe researchers disgusts me ;)
PPS. Does anyone have a link to the actual study? I couldn't find a link to it in the article.

How do they affect non binary runners?
To be clear, the study didn't test the shoes at all. It just looked how much top performances improved in different events after shoes were introduced. There could be many reasons women's long-distance performances have improved more than men's over the last decade or so, including increasing depth on the women's side.
Lame
Women are still improving at a faster rate than men because women were not well supported in running (or athletics) until the 1990s and things didn't start to blossom until the 2000s or even more recently than that when they were really being encouraged to get after it. Women may not be as close to their upper ceiling as men, who have had more years of competitive opportunities. Men have been competing and fully supported as athletes since the beginning, really.
Nope, nobody can ever get better at running. It's always the shoes.
Good, but i would guess that woman are lighter than men on average which could explain partially the benefit difference.
