humans aren't really heel strikers, go run barefoot and you'll realize why.
turns out slamming your heel into the ground hurts, what we use the heel for is standing on it.
Walking humans and bears definitely heel strike. I'm not talking about running.
even then we don't put our weight on the heel first (unless we're wearing terrible modern shoes that force us to do so), we put weight on the heel and forefoot approximately at the same time.
I have been to the real world a couple of times and having seen some people stomp like crazy, I can 100% say you cannot generalize like that.
