    Hi fellow pod friends,

    recently I discovered this brand of shoe called Vivo - I'm not against minimalist shoes nor am I for. But I think this sort of marketing is quite unsubstantiated and misleading to the consumer. What are your thoughts?

    Here are the links:

    BUNIONS

    Similar case from a few years ago.

    Yep; of course, They have been doing that since the beginning. They just make shit up. That is why it failed and runners voted with their feet and abandoned it.
