Running Shoes Heel Drop Chart [2023 Updated]

If you are a runner, you probably know how important it is to choose the right shoes for your feet, your gait, and your goals.

But do you know what heel drop is and how it affects your running performance and injury risk?

Heel drop, also known as midsole drop, heel-to-toe drop or offset, is the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot of a shoe. It is measured in millimeters and can range from zero (flat) to 16 (high).

You shouldn’t confuse heel drop with heel stack height.

Heel stack height is the amount of material between your feet and the ground. It is also measured in millimeters and includes the height (thickness) of the insole, midsole and outsole. Stack height can vary from 3 (barefoot) to 50 (maximalist).

Heel drop can influence how your foot strikes the ground, how much cushioning and stability you need, and how comfortable you feel in your shoes.

Some runners prefer a low heel drop for a more natural and minimalist feel, while others opt for a higher heel drop for more support and shock absorption.

But there is no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to heel drop. The best option for you depends on many factors, such as your running style, your foot anatomy, your injury history, and your personal preference.

That’s why we have created this running shoes heel drop chart, where you can find the heel-to-toe drops for all the latest running shoes available in the market along with their weight, and their best use case.

Whether you are looking for a shoe for racing, trail-running, daily running, jogging, or training, we have got you covered.

So read on and discover the best running shoes for your as per your heel drop needs!

FAQs

ASICS Gel-Kayano 28, ASICS Gel-Nimbus 24, New Balance 928 V3 and Brooks Ghost 15 are among the reliable running shoes with highest heel drop of around 12 mm.

The appropriate heel-to-toe drop for walking can vary depending on foot type and gait pattern and can range from a high drop to a zero drop. Zero drop and low heel to toe drop shoes (4 to 6mm) can be a good option for walkers.

According to experts, the best walking sneakers have a 4 to 8mm heel-to-toe drop, which places less stress on the Achilles tendon and allows for more efficient transfer of energy through heel-lift and toe-off in the walking cycle.

In shoes, the “mm drop” or “heel-toe drop” refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot of a shoe. It is measured in millimeters (mm) and shoes come with different drops to account for different running strides as well as differences in intended terrain.

For example, a shoe with a 25-mm thick heel and a 15-mm thick forefoot will have a 10-mm heel-toe drop. A shoe with a 10-mm-thick forefoot and a 10-mm-thick heel would have a 0-mm heel drop (aka “zero drop”).
