Pros and Cons?
I land midfoot most of the time and want to know if thats bad or not

I think that if you aren't consciously attempting to land on your toes you're going to be moving through the landing so quickly and fluidly that it would be really hard to tell just whee exactly you are landing. In Ken Bob's book he wrote that without 500 frame / sec photography he couldn't even tell how the landing moved.
I think as long as it's not heel first yet all 3, ball toes heel do indeed touch your good. I don't usually know for sure which order I land because it changes with the terrain, incline, decline, ormy acceleration or decceleration. I concentrate more on lifting the front of the foot first.
See, I try to fully land forefoot, but I feel like im tippy-toeing. Its weird.
My heel does touch the floor for quite some time when I run.
TJ, you're still in the healing stage after your surgeries... You will get better. In fact from what you've described, you have gotten tremendously better. It's all a matter of time TJ. You'll continue getting better.I think most people tend to walk with a heel-strike, whether shod or barefoot, but not everyone. I think mechanics, injuries, and age will force someone to walk a different way. You should see me now when I walk. I look crippled.
