it was a matter of time, the barefoot craze hit the skids

I almost feel a sense of vindication.  Certain barefoot shoe companies have settled a lawsuit against them stating they falsy deceived consumers.  It wasn't just the consumers that were fooled, many of my fellow foot doctors jumped on the "band wagon".  I recall article after article in foot doctor journals and magazines where foot doctors would claim the benefits of barefoot running shoes.  I stated then and will state now, that they only lead to injury if used for running.  I can see their usefullness for cross training and stuff related but for runners...i don't think so. 
What was even more comical were the podiatrists backing barefoot running, hmm... inactive, overweight or even obese and were not even runners. 
Now, you tell me how the hell these inactive, overweight or obese non-runners can give an honest opinion on barefoot running when all they do is run to the fridge.
I got so tired of these doctors trying to convince me barefoot running was beneficial when time after time i was seeing foot injury after foot injury from barefoot running.
I own and have used barefoot running shoes and i like them for one thing:  cross training and water sports...
I support really two running shoe companies, one because they saved my running career and two  every patient or friend who took my advice and purchased them came back time after time telling me how much they love them.

 

For trail running shoes, i love one brand more than others, their light, fit like a glove and have aweome traction, and are very comfy, even without custom orthotics.  Salomon trail running shoes are AWESOME!!
