Everything You Need To Know About Biomechanical Shoes


Dr Kim Lilley, our in-house expert, provides a masterclass in biomechanics

 

Biomechanics: it’s a word most of us are familiar with, but what actually does it mean? Enter Dr Kim Lilley – our in-house expert, who has a PHD in the field and over 11 years of experience innovating the technologies in our footwear. From the wonderfully scientific to how biomechanical shoes positively impact your daily life and wellbeing, we spoke to Dr Kim to answer your questions. 

 



What is biomechanics?


Biomechanics is the study of the principles behind movement and structure. It combines physics, engineering, and biology to understand the interactions between the musculoskeletal system, muscles, and external forces, and the impact this has on your body. Biomechanics can be used to analyse movement patterns, performance, injury prevention, and rehabilitation.

 

How does our choice of footwear impact biomechanics?


It has a huge impact, especially in activities such as walking, running, and sports. Different types of shoes can affect the way our feet strike the ground, alter our gait patterns, change joint angles, and influence muscle activation, ultimately affecting our overall biomechanics.
