TJ, I was aware of these
TJ, I was aware of these kinds of studies, but I didn't include them in the Library because of an editorial perspective I was taking.
I thought: these kind of things are about the difference between shoe designs and the not the difference between barefoot/minimal and going shod. I don't want the list of resources to become dominated by studies of shoes vs. shoes, which isn't our main interest.
However, I would say that these studies throw into doubt a whole premise of the running shoe industry, which is injuries can be prevented by assigning shoes based on apparent pronation of the foot. So they are definitely relevant to the question of whether shoes cause injuries.
I'll add a few of these kinds of studies to the academic resources list and I'll add a summary sentence to the main page.
