Any reason this should be down voted? I read that "born to run" was partly a scam book (can't recall exactly, but the cover was photoshopped for one, and the stories about some runners never getting hurt was just totally false, etc...)
But barefoot running is a great way to run, no knee or back issues after doing this for years.

He was pointing out that the appeal of these shoes appears to be simply mimicking what the body already does. I took this as a valid criticism of these shoes. This is especially relevant because there's been decades of shoe manufacturers designing for poor running form. Surely HN isn't just for commenting on support of a product in a linked story, but also considered criticism?
