They're r-slurred but they are mostly r-slurred about the drop in shoes... the drop being the difference in height between the heel and the front of the shoe(I think they are a little wider too). In running communities a lot of these fricking morons come in and shit the place up telling people to wear these stupid shoes, ignoring the fact that no serious runner wears them. These are people that recently moved on from the five finger shoes because they read some dumb book.

They're good for foot strength training and slab climbing, but I wouldn't do anything long distance in them because they put so much more stress on your feet.

I know a few log distance trail runners, the path is regular running shoes, expensive running shoes, the finger toe things, splay shoes, and then flip flops.

Probably because endurance running kills your feet but has people who do it non stop like junkies. So they are looking for anything besides "don't abuse the shit out of them"

Yeah the ones I know, it consumes their lives. They don't even seem to actually enjoy that much, but it's like all they are anymore so they can't quit. The one I know the best changed his entire diet and lifestyle around it. He not too long kind of broke and said frick it and started with the flip flops stopped tracking everything or doing any specific training. Now he just runs when he feels like it and just enters races on whims, it's seems like the first time he actually enjoys that shit in years.

They had a lawsuit several years ago about these shoes too. I guess it wasn't enough for a bankruptcy, and r-sluration shouldn't be underestimated.

They're wide at the front so your toes can spread out.
