Yeah? Well you smell wrong!

try a pair of Pumas next time you shop for shoes; they're so thin and light it feels strange after wearing Nikes or boots

'a pair of pumas'

i guess you're not much of a runner, because puma makes like 25 different models of running shoes.

nike frees used to be good, but they get heavier with every iteration. often times you can get racing flats, which are thin, light, and don't have a lot of heel lift. they're meant for competitions and long distance races, but who gives a fuck.

as long as it's flexible and very light, then you're ok

An interesting article, I've been liking the new trend towards thin shoes myself, and as a sufferer of mild heel problems, it brings some hope to me that might be getting somewhere better with shoe understanding/design.

The quote by William A. Rossi is a bit too sensationalist, if not completely erroneous, in the depiction of evolution he gives.
Just because something has evolved over millions of years (which is not considerably long relative to evolutionary changes) does not mean it is somehow at the zenith of utility. Conversely, even if our foot was the best thing ever for our environment, our environment is now completely alien compared to that which it had adapted for.
