Anecdotally, I see a lot of people wearing minimal shoes in their daily lives. But pretty much no minimal/barefoot runners anymore

- mrweasel 2y agoI know a guy who has been no shoes for almost 20 years now. I think he does use the shoes with the toes when running, but in everyday life, he's just no shoes, no socks. The exception is situations where he's in a formal wear, in those cases he does put on shoes. Most others who didn't the barefoot running have all quit.

In 10 years we'll be writing about how dumb this trend is while we revert to barefoot running
- ghc 2y agoThe only way we'll be seeing that trend go away is if they're banned. Those shoes improve race times so much they stretch the definition of what should be legal in racing. Nobody's going to revert to barefoot running for racing unless they don't care about their times.
- RankingMember 2y agoYeah, they may look goofy but they work, similar to how lycra makes one look like a power ranger but you won't see anyone in the TDF wearing a hoodie and jeans.
