this site never fails to impress me with how in-depth it is. I (re) started running several years ago and the world of shoes is dizzying. I still don't have a great grasp on it but I'm glad I've found some shoes that are reliable for me. Fairly certain that I experienced this phenomenon that the author pointed out: "...if a shoe is too soft and bouncy, it can make your stabilizer muscles work harder just to keep things steady." Hard to say for certain but I've found those really soft/bouncy/lightweight shoes are fine for me over short runs (such as a 5k race) but are terrible on longer runs due to this phenomenon.
