If a person runs UP STEEP hills, you want a LOT of stack height to protect the achilles tendon from hyper-extension when hours of running uphill leave the athlete TIRED. ALL of my trail runs in the Rockies are steep hills. I don’t want a lot of stack height, but I do want a lot of “drop.” Not much force is placed upon that high heel when going up hill, so if that heel is also kinda soft and springy, then it is good for going back down, too! So what shoe is made this way? I would like to know as would all of us who run the mountains.
