>wearing rigid footwear with raised heels that promotes heel strikeIt's almost like you want to severe arthritis at 40!
These are almost overpriced, yet are the best all-around shoe. The 'huarache' sandal design was used by natives of some the most rocky, rugged landscape of southern Mexico. Why use minimal padding? When your feet are allowed to flex, feel, and adapt with each step, the chance of rolling your ankles on uneven terrain is greatly diminished, and who wouldn't take a bruised toe over a sprained ankle?
They even have compatible wool socks for year round use.
Their thinnest sole with performance laces is the best deal, $70 with code EXPLORE10
I probably sound like a shill at this point, but I'm just a fan of the company and the related info they've published.
