I have seen many very efficient and effortless walking and running patterns. Definitely, dominant heel strikers or forefoot strikers can seem to have more problems. It seems I try to teach runners and walkers with instability problems or chronic pain problems to land more on their midfoot (over the cuboid/fifth metatarsal base). The video below emphasizes this landing position and it is a possible solution for walkers and runners to obtain a less stressful gait pattern.
