So these shoes start with a good purpose, eliminating heel strike. But they also eliminate the heel altogether, which I would think might take it too far. And because of the funky sole that supposedly guides you into the right form, you still end up with a lot of "stuff" between you and the road. Watching the video on the site, it looks like the big ol' wedge on the bottom does compress as you're running, so that's good. On another positive note, they are light. Better than traditional running shoes? Quite possibly. But I'd prefer to let my feet do the work, not my shoes.
So no, I'm not considering buying any! I don't think they're for sale yet anyway. I just thought they were odd and fascinating, and I'll be interested to see if they take off or not.
Thoughts?
