Question by : Would wearing extra socks make me faster?
I trust physics on my life.

Here’s a small fact on my physic textbook:

“Running shoes as shock absorbers: Today, much of the focus of running shoe technology centers on the cushioned midsole that plays a key role as a shock absorber and performance enhancer. Each time a runner’s foot hits the ground, the ground exerts an equal and opposite force on the runner’s foot. This force can be nearly four times a runner’s weight, causing aches and pains, shin splints, and damage to knees and ankles over long distances. Cushioning is used in running shoes to decrease the force absorbed by the runner. As a runner’s foot hits the ground and come to a stop, its momentum changes. The change in momentum is Δp = FΔt.

A shoe’s cushioning system also affects energy consumption. The bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons of the foot and leg are a natural cushioning system. But operating this system requires the body to use stored energy to contract muscles. So if a s shoe can be worn that assists a runner’s natural cushioning system, the runner does not expand much of his or her own stored energy. The energy the runner saved can be spent to run farther or faster. The cushioned midsole uses the law of conversation of energy to return as much of the energy to the runner as possible. The runner’s kinetic energy transformers to elastic potential energy, plus heat, when the runner’s foot hits the running surface. If the runner can reduce the amount of energy that is lost as heat, the runner’s elastic potential energy can be converted back to useful kinetic energy. Bouncy, springy, elastic materials that resist crushing over time commonly are used t o create the cushioned midsole. Opt ions now range from silicone gel pads to complex fluid-filled systems and even springs to give a runner extra energy efficiency.”

So would wearing extra sock reduce the amount of energy lost, which I can spend to run faster? (I get tired pretty easy.)

Mainstreaming Building Energy Efficiency Codes in Developing Countries: Global Experiences and Lessons from Early Adopters (World Bank Working Papers)

Urbanization and growing wealth in developing countries portend a large increase of demand for modern energy services in residential, commercial and public-service buildings in the coming decades. Pursuing energy efficiency in buildings is vital to energy security in developing countries and is identified by the Intergovernment Panel on Climate Change as having the greatest potential for cost-effective reduction of CO2 emissions by 2030 among all energy-consuming sectors.
