I am more or less a mid-foot striker mostly. My all-time favorite shoes were the ASICS Excalibur GTs, a line retired more than 30 years ago--of course I don't have the same feet now that I had then. One thing I see all the time: women nearly always land well up on the foot, no matter how puffy their shoes are. This does not mean that women always have efficient strides--a lot of the force can go into loft rather than forward motion.
