olhamada, your pretty brave for that post.
There is a lot of unfounded,downright hate for 5 fingers shoes and the minimalist movement in this forum. A lot of them, training for their last fight has come and gone, and they don't want to know what they don't know.
A lot have and do cast 5 fingers as nothing but a fad offshoot of crossfit(you know,another fad
), something for hippy rock climbers to wear with their hemp jewelry. A few have questioned the function of the shoe, but most get stuck on the aesthetics, and never move past that. I would hate to think the company here treat PT as a function of fashion.
I'll never call anyone out here, bc it's not my place, but it's their training, not mine. Have fun with those marshmellow shoes.
Bottom line is, I've not found one article written by anybody, professional or joe, that argues against barefoot. On the contrary, many people with B.A.'s and M.D.'s are saying this is how it should have been all along.
