Summary

This study looked at how the X10D shoe sole affects walking in 15 healthy adults aged 50 to 65. Participants walked with the X10D sole, a neutral sole, and their own sports shoes. The goal was to measure changes in foot movement and walking patterns over 3-4 weeks. It is an early step to see if the sole can make walking more active and dynamic.
