In this episode we speak to Bahador Keshvari, a researcher at TUM's Professorship for Sport Equipment and Sport Material - and discuss the importance of shoes to competitive sport, and the science behind their constant development.

Shoes play an important role in most disciplines, and their use in athletics has become ever more controversial as materials science pushes performance of competitors beyond what was previously possible.

What drives the development of sport shoes? ... and how can they be designed to help athletes be more safe and successful?
