Studying the Effects of the X10D Shoe on Walking in Healthy Adults Aged 50 to 65

The aim of this study is to characterize the biomechanical effects of the X10D sole using objective, quantitative measurement methods. The walking pattern of many people is becoming increasingly passive, and the muscles of the feet and legs are getting weaker. The X10D shoe is an adapted shoe designed to make walking more active and dynamic again. This study investigates the detailed biomechanical effects of the X10D shoe on the walking pattern of healthy participants. For this purpose, walking with the X10D shoe will be compared with (1) walking in a control shoe with a neutral sole and (2) walking in the participants' everyday sports shoes.
