The first time I ran barefoot, I was older than you probably are now. (Since this is HN.)
I understand your skepticism, since I used to be the same way. What I've learned is this: good running form isn't "pogo stick," it's "unicycle." But if what you're doing is working for you, no reason to change.
That STILL doesn't excuse the cost of running shoes. For public shoe companies, just take a look at their financials, how much money goes to "R&D" versus "sales and marketing."
- lukan 2y ago"That STILL doesn't excuse the cost of running shoes." I don't know much about running shoes, but about trekking shoes. And there I can attest, that higher quality exists and indeed costs more and is worth it. I assume the same to be true for running shoes, no matter that they have a big marketing budget, that should rather be R&D. (All marketing should be.)
- hilux 2y agoThe same is not true for running shoes.
