Nike, New Balance, Asics and Adidas gone-burgers?

I doubt it despite Scientists at the University of Newcastle .. saying an analysis of the global pool of sports medicine research turned up nothing relating to the commonly used, and recommended, sports shoes. "We did not identify a single study that has attempted to measure the effect of this shoe type on either injury rates or performance. This means there is no scientific evidence (the) shoes provide any benefit to distance runners."


Luckily shoes are way sexier than bare feet, always will be.


The article leaves the primary concern being a puncture, therefore we should see thin soled kevlar type sneakers appearing once people get over the hype. I won't hold my breath.
