My take is based on an individual with a current overuse injury seeking treatment. Once the injury is healed and activity returns to normal biomechanics can be adjusted in whatever manner the runner desires to keep from being re injured

I look at overuse as a bar. Everybody’s bar is higher or lower based on many factors. For running the “bar” is simply higher (meaning you can do more before overuse injury happens) when the shoe gear is soft and supportive, is it lessens the effect of gravity and mass in the force equation. If a runners bar is high enough based on age, shape they are in, no arthritis, body weight, running surface (sidewalk vs asphalt, dirt, grass) they can run with whatever shoe they want and likely not cross that overuse bar and get injured. Those folks I don’t see professionally.

The folks I see are people like the OP who seek treatment and advice because they cross the bar and sustain overuse injuries. So I treat them. I teach correct principles and the athletes govern themselves
