Running in "Super-shoes" (Nike Vapourfly 3) - Foot Kinematics

We are looking at how foot joints (Metatarsophalangeal joint) and the surrounding bones rotate and move when running in the Nike Vapourfly 3 running shoe, a carbon plated high performance "super-shoe".

Participants will visit the University's Foothill campus once for a CT scan, followed by video Xray (dual fluoroscopy) imaging.
