RE: Running related injuries are at an all-time high because of shoes!
You totally made me look at running shoes in a different way. I thought that they were supposed to support the weight and absorb vibrations to enhance performance and protect from injuries (basically, all these things ads promise)
Yea it’s unbelievable. Most of the designers are only worried about the aesthetics. I wonder if the big shoe manufacturers are aware of the literature? At least we have brands like vibram, vivo-barefoot, merrel, among others, who are pushing minimalist shoes. Even the good old converse all-stars are a better choice than the new trainers....
