Toe shoes
To anyone that has worn and run seriously in the Vibram Five Finger shoes or the "toe shoes" have you noticed an increase in your efficiency in running, decreased foot or knee pain or injuries ect as claimed by the manufacturer? The epidemiological data between shod and non-shod populations is interesting. Do those non-shod populations run on paved roads though? Those that are part of the "barefoot running" movement believe that modern running shoes only hurt us and state that no good studies have shown that all of the pricey technology in modern day running shoes hasn't been shown to decrease injury rates.
Sure they look goofy but if my overpronation is potentially caused by weak foot and calf muscles from being supported all day instead of my muscles doing the work I'll be willing to give them a chance.
