#203 The Best NON-Plated Workout Shoes Right Now, and the Pros and Cons to Using them Over Carbon

Doctors of Running Podcast - A podcast by Doctors of Running - Wednesdays

Between super racing shoes and super trainers, it seems like half the shoes on the market have super foams and/or carbon plates. But, what if spending too much time in these maximally performing, fun shoes, might be doing us a disservice? Matt and David look into the research and share anecdotes from their own training on how super shoes have affected them. Then they take a look at some of the excellent non-plated, lightweight trainer options like the New Balance Rebel v4, Topo Cyclone 2, and more.
