With the new trend going toward the Minimal Running shoe to prevent injury with better ground feel. Adidas Introduces the new minimal trainer. Adipure Barefoot trainer.
Just a Fad or based on Science? It seems to be based on science and actually makes sense in the fact of strengthening foot and supporting muscles however be careful, these offer very little in the way of support. Due for some new shoes I think i might have to give these a try and let you know how it goes.
