Are they worth it...? | The painful truth about trainers: Are expensive running shoes a waste of money? | Mail Online

Seems that those expensive running shoes that you just purchased are likely to increase your chances of getting injured, not reduce injury!! Huh? WTF? Apparently, previous to Phil Knight's nike modern running shoe, running with no heel was the rule not the exception. Now, supported by research, a new range of shoes are appearing: Nike Free and Vibram Fivefingers (see picture above) are just some of the ones available. It seems that the more advanced we get the more basic we are becoming. Any one tried any of these or have any thoughts? I'm keen to try, anyone else?
