Carbon plated shoes VS daily trainer | STRYD Comparison

Description
In today’s video, Josh puts carbon plates to the test using STRYD power data during a controlled treadmill interval session.
To remove as many external variables as possible, the entire workout is done indoors, allowing for a direct comparison between a non-carbon shoe (Diadora Vigore V) and a carbon-plated shoe (Mizuno Hyperwarp Pro) across identical reps, pace, and conditions.
Josh looks beyond “feel” to see how each shoe behaves under the same effort and whether the carbon plate actually changes the efficiency of the run. Does the plated shoe reduce energy cost?
Does it change mechanics? And can you really see a measurable difference rep after rep?
If you’re curious about how carbon shoes compare to traditional trainers in a controlled setting, this data-driven breakdown will give you a clearer answer.
