I'm not sure you can run with appropriate gait (stop heel striking) in modern mass market running shoes. The heels on many running shoes are 2 inches+ and make it just impossible to avoid heel striking without wasting a lot of motion picking your knees up. Also, the chances of twisting your ankle when your heels are elevated that much from the road is far higher as well. | ||

Best marathon runners can do it in "conventional" running shoes [0], but I agree it's easier to find the better technique barefoot or in barefoot shoes. | ||
