“…These biomechanical changes were accompanied by greater qualitative scores in overall fit and confidence while running on each part of the trail. Similarly, various BOA wrap configurations have reduced frontal plane kinematics and times to change direction during agility movements and were accompanied by increased qualitative fit (13). In contrast to two of our hypotheses, there were no differences in peak accelerations or medial-lateral accelerations in the Wrap Shoe.…”

“…Presented percent differences were with respect to estimated marginal means. These models use a similar structure to recent work from our lab (13,14) and represent a natural way to model the subjectspecific responses to footwear (37).…”

“…As such, trail running exacts different demands on footwear than road running. Recent studies have demonstrated that shoe upper material (12) and footwear closure systems (13,14) can impact biomechanical performance, specifically in non-sagittal plane motions. The upper and fit of footwear is considered a critical design feature by running footwear experts (15), however little research exists on the impact of uppers on trail running performance.…”

“…Additionally, IMUs have been used to characterize the terrain of uphill trail running vs. in-lab running through medial-lateral accelerations (7)with runners exhibiting larger medial-lateral accelerations outdoors. As footwear uppers have been shown to influence agility movement transition times (12,14) and frontal plane kinematics (13), medial-lateral accelerations may be sensitive to changes in the footwear upper.…”

Trail running participation has grown over the last two decades. As a result, there have been an increasing number of studies examining the sport. Despite these increases, there is a lack of understanding regarding the effects of footwear on trail running biomechanics in ecologically valid conditions. The purpose of our study was to evaluate how a Wrap vs. Lace closure (on the same shoe) impacts running biomechanics on a trail. Thirty subjects ran a trail loop in each shoe while wearing a global positioning system (GPS) watch, heart rate monitor, inertial measurement units (IMUs), and plantar pressure insoles. The Wrap closure reduced peak foot eversion velocity (measured via IMU), which has been associated with fit. The Wrap closure also increased heel contact area, which is also associated with fit. This increase may be associated with the subjective preference for the Wrap. Lastly, runners had a small but significant increase in running speed in the Wrap shoe with no differences in heart rate nor subjective exertion. In total, the Wrap closure fit better than the Lace closure on a variety of terrain. This study demonstrates the feasibility of detecting meaningful biomechanical differences between footwear features in the wild using statistical tools and study design. Evaluating footwear in ecologically valid environments often creates additional variance in the data. This variance should not be treated as noise; instead, it is critical to capture this additional variance and challenges of ecologically valid terrain if we hope to use biomechanics to impact the development of new products.

“…Moreover, not properly encoding the effects of clustering at different levels (e.g., sites in a multicenter study or levels of athlete) can lead to misinterpretation of main effects in magnitude or even direction (3,4). The benefits of such an approach are evidenced by several fields, such as linguistics (5,6), learning and memory (7), ecology (8), tissue biomechanics (9), and biomechanics (10,11) adopting LMEM.…”
