When your running your feet hit the ground with certain level of pressure or that causes stress on tendon and joints muscles. In running their is very little side to side motion. Light weight shoes are ideal. It is easy to tell the weight of a running shoe by running in it just based off how much spring you have in your step. This is pretty easy to tell.
