Studies comparing injury patterns in military individuals who received shoes matched to their foot type versus those who received the same shoe regardless of foot type showed no difference.

“when you look at the studies that have been done what they found is that when you match the foot to the shoe so a motion control shoe for a very low flat foot that's flexible a cushion shoe for a high arch rigid foot and stability shoe for normal arch and then you compare that to a group of people who all got the same shoe regardless their foot type there was no difference in the injury patterns this was done by joe kanapic in the military i think something like 7 000 military individuals in different branches of the service”
