Shoe recommendations for a forefoot strike

circadian · 2017-07-25 16:01:25

Currently running 5k - 10k in Brooks ST5. They're nice but the drop doesn't completely suit my running style and I think the calf tightness I experience at times is related to this. Any other forefoot strikers that can recommend a shoe they couldn't live without?

Saucony Kinvara (4 mm drop) or Saucony Virrata (0 mm drop) are amongst my favourite shoes (I'm generally not picky, though)

Thanks, picked up Kinvara 8 a few days ago. Lovely relaxed run and finally no calf pain!
