Why is it this a thing? I have to look for hours before I can find a pair of sneakers without this disgusting ass heel shit. It doesn't matter the brand, every one is infested with them.Well I guess Chucks are an exception but I already own a pair and they're not good for running.Where did this come from?
>>18544903sounds like you are too retarded to do basic research
>>18544903scissors
it comes from people ramming their heels into the ground, instead of walking on their toes
>>18544903I assume by the picture that you were mostly looking at npc brands?
Love me wolf and shepherds they are pretty much the only shoes I wear now and don’t have those heel attachments. They go on sale for half price a couple times a year so id wait for then
>>18544903It's a Gurney flap. It was developed in racecars to make them more controllable when going fast in turns. Having these on your shoes will upgrade their performance from Chevrolegs to Lamborfeeties.
>>18545320kekwpretty clever 10/10
>>18544903Heel stabiliser. I’ve seen them on many shoes but only this brand had a description of its utility.
>>18544903I never saw anything like this and I need one because I think it makes me roon faster.
>>18544903>looks for running shoes>doesn't like that running shoes look like running shoesyou might be the dumbest poster on /fa/
>>18546792In running shoes it's called lateral heel flare and it serves some purpose
>>18544903Just get loafers and dont look like a piece of shit.
>>18545320ghey af
>>18547432where do you buy cheap loafers
>>18547102>it serves some purposeElaborate
>>18547432Fag
>>18548254no you are fag
>>18548256:(
>>18548252I'm not sure where it is used. If it protrudes from left or right side it is used to control pronation on that side. If it protrudes from the back it makes the foot lever longer so when you make a step you contact the ground with your heel earlier and the front of the shin muscle has to work harder. So then supposedly it would make shin splints worse.
