British Journal of Sports Medicine Vol 42 No 3, March 2008, pp.189-193Summary: Three pairs of running shoes by different manufacturers in each of 3 price brackets (40-45 GBP, 60-65 GBP, and 70-75 GBP) were tested for plantar pressure and comfort while walking and running. Found that low and medium cost running shoes offered as good if not better cushioning of plantar pressure than high cost running shoes.
