Is there a right & wrong running shoe? with JF Esculier Jun 22, 2020

Show notes

In my opinion Jean-Francois Esculier is #1 when it comes to evidence based clinic practice for treating runners. He has published several running related studies and is constantly updating his knowledge on all things running.

JF does have a huge interest is shoe prescription relating to injury reduction, treatment & performance, so our discussion revolves around just that.

We discuss when you should change running shoes, if it is okay to run in 1 shoe type, if we need running support & what we do for plantar fasciitis!!
