Hey I read lots of comments about how the more advanced a shoe gets, the more people statistically get injured. How do people who make those claims link it specifically to running shoe technology? How do we know it's not due to more people in general getting into running, regardless of shape and size.
The only people I ever heard of getting plantar fascia problems were runners, and it's all in the last 15 years. I also never e3ven heard of the navicular bone before runners starting cracking them.
Yeah, I'd say it's the shoes.

Yeah but what you are saying links the injuries to people running, not the actual shoes. I'm not saying your wrong. But i'm saying if more people got into running, and we all have different bodies, how do we know the injuries aren't just people who are naturally more prone to certain injuries getting injured who in previous generations, probably wouldn't have had a reason or inspiration to run.

Give it up estaban. I have been making that point for years. Most want to blame something simple. Don't discount the possibility that people didn't go to the doctor or physical therapist over a bit of arch pain 30 years ago either.
