    miracuously remained in its neutral position throughout the entire phase of gait perhaps? :eek:

    I have an appreciation for a shoe that enables "barefoot-like" function (e.g. Nike Free) however when you consider that today's running surfaces are mostly flat, hard roads/paths they probably aren't very well indictaed. Perhaps if you were running on sand?

    The main cry for the new 'natural shoes' is likely to come from commercial interest keen to engage a lobby to remove the 'performance enhancing' clauses from professional running codes.

    Years ago we posibly weren't running on the amount of bitumen and concrete as we do now. I agree that the shoes presented today are possibly "too much shoe" however we do need something for the runners who run on hard surfaces. Possibly the nike free styles are on the right track.
