Based on the discussion at Zero Drop and Runblogger, Dr. Richards
offered to conduct trials to assess the effects of shoe design on
injury rates and performance. The key is to get manufacturers to
submit shoes. So far, Merrell is in. I'm doing what I can to spread
the word to pressure others to join in.
Here's my post that describes the project:

If any of you could help out by spreading the word, that would be
great! Blog about it, spread the word on Facebook, Twitter, email,
whatever. The more people that know about it, the more likely other
manufacturers will be on-board.
Thanks guys! ;-)
