In comparison with the previous question, which concerns static relative height, this question leads directly into the anatomical enhancement of running shoe construction in terms of its level of stack. To assess how important is the stack height in an all-round running shoe, it should be compared with the properties of general construction. As a first comparison it is worth exploring both what it consists of and the properties of a running shoe stack itself – in simple definitions.

Question

Is there a noticeable impact of stack height of running shoes on its application for different running forms?

Answer 1

The stack height of a running shoe can increase its functionality. If one has a higher stack height, he/she is generally able to cushion more, and such a feature is good for long and comfortable runs. On the other hand, there may also be some runners who would want to have a lower stack height because that may allow them a better feel of the ground which may be useful in faster paces or racing. The most important task is to choose the stack height which provides a good degree of both splash on the shoe and feedback from the shoe, as per individual liking and running requirements.
