Podiatrists, thanks to some exciting new research, are beginning to understand that shoes themselves cause lots of troubles, no matter how good or expensive the shoe - barefoot is better, minimal is better.
Did you know that runners with thicker cushier shoes have more injuries than those with cheaper shoes? Turns out that our feet, with 50,000 nerve endings demand firm contact with the ground and if the shoe is too cushy, the foot strike will automatically be much harder. Amazing!

In the seventies knee
pain limited me to
half hour jogs. In the nineties I was
able to do two hour
jogs. It seems that
running shoes have
improved. Perhaps
I'll try moccasins
but avoiding keawe

all theories.
