Heel-Toe Offset:

Heel-Toe Offset

Heel-Toe Offset refers to the height difference between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe. The heel is usually higher than the forefoot but is never lower than the forefoot. Some runners believe a lower offset leads to more efficient running. Traditional running shoes have 10-13mm offsets. Moving from higher to lower heel-toe offsets may require a transition period.

Stack Height:

Stack Height

Stack height refers to how much shoe is between your foot and the ground. For this search, stack height refers to how much shoe is under your forefoot, as the heel height will be equal to or greater than the forefoot height.

Barefoot: 1-8mm. The shoe generally does not have a midsole and feels like there is no cushioning. This shoe is all about feeling the ground.
Minimal: 9-13mm. The shoe has a thin midsole but there is a lack of cushioning. Racing shoes and minimalist shoes are common here and there is a feeling of being connected to the road.
Low: 14-18mm. The shoe has a midsole and may have added cushioning technologies. Performance and trail shoes are common here and there is still a good feel for the ground.
Medium: 19-23mm. The shoe has a traditional midsole height. Standard and Premium shoes are common here and cushioning technologies are prevalent. Feeling of the ground varies.
High: 24-29mm. The shoe has a thick midsole and extra cushioning. There is less feel for the ground and more feel of the shoe.
Maximal: 30mm plus. The shoe has an extremely thick midsole and extra cushioning. The focus is on feeling a soft shoe and not really feeling the ground.
