- It is the height difference (in millimeters) between the heel and the front part of the shoe, and it mainly applies to running shoes.
- Zero Drop (0mm): The heel and toes are at exactly the same height from the ground to simulate barefoot running. Ideal for runners seeking a completely natural running mechanism.
- Low Drop (1−4mm): Minimal height difference. Ideal for fast tempo race runners, experienced runners with good technique, and Trail Running athletes who want a low center of gravity in the mountains so their ankle doesn’t twist.
- Medium Drop (5−8mm): Neutral transition. Ideal for most modern runners, they offer a balance between natural foot movement and protection for the Achilles/calf.
- High Drop (9−14mm): Highly elevated heel. Ideal for runners who land on their heels first (heel strikers), beginner runners, and people with sensitivity or injuries in the Achilles tendon and calf.
