The new Sonic movie is FULL of hidden gems, the most important of which has to be how ADORABLE the redesign of Sonic ended up. That's not the point of this theory, though. No, today I am focusing on one key detail from the movie - Sonic's shoes. Specifically, the fact that Sonic seems to keep ruining them. You see, this detail says something VERY important about the way Sonic runs. What is that? Watch and find out!

I’m more concerned that you think sonic is “marathon running.” He’s constantly at a full sprint, with his shoulders leaned in front of his toes upon footfall. Meaning he’s “digging in” and pushing off with his toes.

Shoes for sprinting are way different from long-distance running shoes as well. The absorbtion of your actual downward muscle-burst is way too high to be compensated by the "bouncing" effect. Also the wholes/claws could function like spikes.

Hey Mat!! Just wanted to note one thing. Another reason Sonic might be running on his toes is because that is what professional sprinters do in the real world. To gain acceleration and velocity, sprinters run on their toes and lean forward so that they are more aerodynamic. This makes their speed faster and in turn, makes them a better sprinter. The speed Sonic is going makes me think that not only is it more comfortable for him, but it is also a better running style for running fast instead of long periods of time.

Whenever it comes to running, I always try to use the forefoot method. While most runners use the heel strike, you don't feel that kind of impact using the forefoot method. It's especially noticeable when you don't have on proper shoes. Running is almost like jumping in terms of impact. Jumping and landing on your feet flat will resort in risk of injury, so it's much better landing on your forefeet since it forces the posture of your legs to be bent, allowing you to bounce and equal out the energy. While running isn't exactly jumping, the same concepts still apply. Heel strike running sends the impact up your legs, but with forefoot running, you're equaling out that energy by forcing your legs to be in a more springy position. The best example of this is basically any animal whose hind legs are made for running and jumping, like cats, rabbits, and dogs. They're not using their heels, they do all that on their toes.

Thats not necessarily true. When runners are training, we always train with heel striking, and roll back to front to get as much explosiveness as possible. We only ever run on our toes for a finish kick in distance or the last 20m or so for sprints.

Does it matter? I feel anyone can see Sonic as either a sprinter or a marathon runner. Remember he is a blue hedgehog that can run faster then the speed of sound. Mat's video was focus on one aspect of runners. Not saying that others focusing on sprinting is wrong. Both can be valid. Considering Sonic is not human.

Unfortunately, no. Matpat missed a few details. Whilst toe striking is in theory better than heel striking in every way (no idea where he got the bs about top runners heel striking, the majority of them don't and will tell you to avoid it). As heel striking is exclusively a biomechanically incorrect movement induced by shoes which prevent proper form. The best shoes just manage to compensate for the incredibly inefficient motion. Toe striking is also not ideal. As it prevents your foot from naturally rebounding the way its supposed to. Absorbing energy instead of storing it and bouncing. The ideal form according to the world foremost experts, is a tripod landing. Ie. Toe and heel strike simultaneously. This gives you the best rebound, as well as the least joint strain. This is how our bodies are designed to run, biomechanically. And why our feet are arched. Fun fact, if you look at the few remaining hunter gatherer cultures, this is how they run.

I feel like you're missing a HUGE point in the argument, and that is that Sonic isn't running, he's sprinting. Sure, he goes long distances like a long distance runner, but he's going so fast that he can only go long distances. D.Rs and Sprinters have very different ways of running, because of how they have to keep themselves healthy. Striking your toes on the ground for 3000m is going to ruin your shins while 100m isn't. As a sprinter, you strike with your toes, because it makes you faster. As a D.R. you strike your heal, because it doesn't put all your weight into your shins. Sonic's style of running is a sprint, so naturally he would use his toes. My shoes always wear out at the toes, whether they're my walking or running shoes, because I've taught myself to run that way as a sprinter myself. And I've tried both running styles and using your heal when trying to sprint is a terrible disadvantage, because there's more motion to go through. And with every high action, and high energy thing Sonic gets himself into, he's gonna want to run as fast as he can, so he's going to sprint. I hope this wasn't too rambly, but I just wanted to put that out there. Hope it makes sense to someone, and have a nice day. :)

For all who are interested: "Knowing better" just released a video talking about how heelstriking got the norm for jogging and how it is actually worse for you. So you might wanna check that out. On another note Kipchoge is actually not using a heelstrike but a midfoot strike, which kinda invalidates an important part of Mattpats argument.

Follow-up theory: could Sonic's socks be worn out on the heel instead of the toes because his old shoes were too large for his feet? If that's the case, then it's easy to imagine his feet sliding inside the shoe and thus wearing out the sock in unusual places.

And mom didn't get me new shoes so I had to go the rest of my time in that school with melted shoes I literally had to cut my socks out of. My point is, while raw power can get you pretty far as it did me, I never learned proper running form and now my knees hurt over three years later.

@@sambaxter7035 depends on what distance and pace, but as a general guideline it's a terrible piece of advice. In a sprint, middle distance run (800m/1500m) or where the pace is rapidly changing it is advised to run on your toes as the leg will create a spring and the force required to increase the run's pace, while long-distance doesn't need that explosiveness so a heel strike is recommended. The human body isn't designed for a flat foot (heel strike ) run, it's incredibly bad for our ankles and our knees due to the impact causing shockwaves throughout the ankle and knee causing a lot of internal bone striking, which is why athletes are told to run through a finish rather than into a sudden stop to reduce that internal striking. What is best is a mix, as they have different advantages based on what the circumstance and the foot is. It's why you see soccer midfielders switch back and forth in their stance because their role requires them to be running two to three times the distance as any other position.

my understanding of running was if you're sprinting its better to run off your toes.

This video is highly frustrating. If MatPat actually did his research he would learn the proper terms. Heel striking is not landing on you heel, it refers to over reaching trying to take steps that are too long which results in your feet landing past your center of gravity which slows you down. Secondly Kipchoge does't even land on his heel, instead he lands on the middle of his feet / close to the forefoot. I am disappointed in mat Pat's research :(

Heel vs Forefoot: If you're running for distance and endurance, then you should Heel Strike. If you're running for speed (sprinting) then you should Forefoot Strike. Stay on your toes, lean forward, and swing those arms in straight lines, not across the body. (I was a sprinter on the track team in HS, kids.) Sonic is a SPRINTER. Granted, he can do it for weirdly long distances, but he is definitely sprinting. FOREFOOT.

My track coach always has sprinter land on the pads of there toes. You save time when you run like that because you don't have to wait for your foot to get to the right position to push off the ground, it's already in the right position. Also, most kleats have the majority of the spikes in the front because that's where you push off the ground and need the most traction. Sonic runs so fast it's basically a prolonged sprint, so comparing his running style to people who run marathons might throw off your data.

This whole video was also done in terms of marathon runners, where at least from my own track experience sprinters are actually taught to run on their toes because you can get more speed out of it, its just not as efficient so for distance runners you run with the heel because your never a top speed your looking for the fastest efficient way to run. This is also shown in track spikes where sprinting spikes are centered at the very front, but distance spikes are slightly more spread towards the back (although still at the front)

Btw even for us toe striking when sprinting makes you faster since it lets you take more steps which means u get to the end faster you should probably try it

Just a runner here! I'd like to note something that I think you missed. You only covered distance running! To someone who doesn't run, that might not sound big, but the difference in how you run is huge. As a distance runner (I'm qualifying distance as at least a 5k) heelstriking conserves energy, which is what you want. But if you're sprinting toestriking is the faster way to run.

@@marissaburks2541 your achilles tendon is more efficient at releasing energy from the step before when you strike your heel which allows you to spend less energy running long distance, when you are sprinting though it's efficiency is over taken by being able to push off the ground faster when you run on your toes.

Right? And if we think about this as a constant sprint, which is way more plausible, then you can hardly argue with all of the world's top sprinters who toe strike because their running shoes literally only have spikes in the front to give them better grip when they propel themselves forward.
