My understanding is that these are for distance, road running. In watching the video, even if you're a heel striker, the flange compresses and then then pops open as you push off.

It was sort of a joke, as I thought booze 'n' cruise was. Until I started looking into it. It's been changed so we're all happy and literal. Read more

I was going to answer your question but went for a run first and when I got back, the others above had done that handily. So thanks MickeyRodgerDaniel.
