#heel-drop

Heel Drop Your standard heel drop in a running sneaker is between 6 and 10 mm. The lower the drop, the more grounded and controlled the run. The higher the drop, the more heel support and offloading of the calves and Achilles you get. Weight A heavier weight doesn't always mean more cushion, but in these cases it does. Heavier weight (and more cushion) is better for recovery runs and being gentle on joints, but it prevents you from going super fast or feeling agile.
