>>458578>There's no support for your heel or arch and no shock absorption.Yes, very observant of you. That's why they're called minimalist/barefoot shoes. To let the feet do
what they're supposed to do (absorb shock) without the interference of arch support and raised heel.
>The material in between the toes separates your toes unnaturally, interfering with the natural walking position.Don't know what you mean by that, but see pic related.
>More than 150,000 claims were received in the class action suit "A Settlement has been proposed in class action lawsuits about certain models of Vibram FiveFingers footwear. Consumers who bought certain models of FiveFingers footwear in the United States may be entitled to a cash payment.
the lawsuits allege Defendants falsely advertised certain benefits associated with FiveFingers footwear. The Settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing. The Court has not decided who is right or wrong. Instead, the parties are resolving the dispute by agreement."

>we've been wearing shoes for so long now that it's changed the shape of our foot. Barefoot is no longer ideal.Source? You just said that he was wrong when saying "Traditional" footwear have a tendency to fuck up our feet. But then you claim that we have devolved to such an extent in the last few hundred or so years, that our feet are genetically deformed and it's now no longer ideal to walk without man made aid (Read footwear)?
>It's a compelling idea that shoes are hurting the way we walk, but when you look beyond CNN....Some shoes do a better job then others to cause us foot/knee/back pain.Stiff and hard work boots and narrow climbing shoes for example. Running can of course cause extra strain on joints when running with an altered form.
Please take us beyond CNN and enlighten us.
