The Ultimate Rowing Shoe?

I'm always on the lookout for the "ultimate" shoe to use on the Erg. I prefer a "Zero drop" but with a little bit of padding. Definitely don't want a bunch of material over the top of the foot where RowStraps fall either! I came across these "Fit" minimalist shoes from "Skora Running", and I really like them! They are incredibly well-designed and engineered! My favorite feature is that the bottom of the heel is rounded, so it forces you to have a stable posture as you "drive" with your legs! I've already rowed ~150K in these, and have a feeling they will be around for many more!

Have you ever thought about what your feet do during the stroke? This video shows in real time (and in slow motion) that your feet are pretty busy and very important! However, their "work" is predominantly transferring the force from your legs and body to the footboard. At the beginning of the drive, you start transferring force at the balls of your feet, and then maximize the power as you add more force with your heel. You don't shift where you drive the power from, you add to it!

If you want to see a great chart that show you how this works, check out the link below! Take a second to digest how the force from heel adds to the force from the balls of your feet! (Note: This chart says "heels" and "toes" for the sake of simplicity, because you don't drive with your toes!)

Also, note how the stresses on the feet change throughout the stroke. The heel slightly lifts in to the catch and allows the shins to move towards perpendicular. Notice how the footplate is raised/textured under the ball of the foot (and under the straps)… This allows more traction/transfer of force as you start the drive. Also note that the toes have little to no pressure on them at the finish. As the heel is fully engaged, the toes can even lift a bit and are not strapped in tight. Lastly, I'll point out that I was pulling a ~1:30 pace for this video, so the stresses/forces are pretty strong!
