The Importance of Heel to Toe Drop in a Running Shoe June 4, 2014 / queensborotri Something to pay attention to when buying running shoes is the heel to toe drop. This can be defined as the offset or difference between the height of the cushion in the heel in comparison to the height of the cushion in the forefoot.
