While I dont own any Vibrams, I find the whole situation surround this lawsuit fascinating. Most of you who read my blog regularly and have read my book on feet, minimal footwear, and transitioning safely know that not only do I think you walk in minimals for, oh, I don’t know, YEARS before you start running, I don’t think you should be running much at all and never for a prolonged time on man-made surfaces. You can’t hinge your reason for using minimal shoes on SHOES ARE UNNATURAL if you can’t look the POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF THE UNNATURAL SURFACE or YOU BODY IS NOT THE SAME VERSION OF YOU, HAD YOU BEEN IN NATURE THROUGHOUT A LIFETIME arguments in the eye. Which doesn’t mean that you can’t run on concrete with bare feet and do just fine (depending on whatever your definition of “just fine” is) but that it’s problematic to construct your mental arguments in this fashion. If you’re running on concrete in minimal shoes it has to be for some other reason you might have like, “I just want to and I feel OK doing so.”
