Has anyone ever heard of an issue with the stride foot landing too hard? My dd strides well and gets completely open as the left foot is landing at a 45°+/- angle... she lands on the toe and the the heel follows. However there is a slight thud sound. This sound is her high school PC's new hot topic this week. As many of you know, I think this guy means well but frankly is a moron on most of his ideas and methods.... is this noise a real issue or him making a mountain out of a molehill?
