Relph et al. 2022, Running shoes for preventing lower limb running injuries in adults (Cochrane)

Cochrane systematic review of 12 RCTs (11,240 runners) comparing different running-shoe types for prevention of lower-limb injuries. Prescribing shoes by foot posture probably makes little or no difference to injury rates, and comparisons between motion-control, stability and neutral shoes found uncertain effects on injury rates, with very low-certainty evidence across those comparisons. The review provides Cochrane-grade pooled evidence that the pronation-based prescription model does not generalise to injury prevention across the running population. Moderate.
