Forefoot Strike in Vibram Fivefingers – Super Slow Motion from Runblogger on Vimeo.
Anterior view of a running foot strike in Vibram Fivefingers KSO shoes on asphalt filmed at 300fps with a Casio Exilim EX-F1 digital camera – slowed down further in Virtualdub. Contact is initially made on the forefoot, and you can clearly see the ankle pronate after initial contact is made. Courtesy of http://www.runblogger.com.
