No evidence' on running shoe safety

My logic is not flawed. Just because a majority of people choose something does not make it the default position. In the 50's most people smoked, did that make smoking the default position? Most people in the US are Christian, does that make Christianity default?

The default position in the most natural or non position. For example the default position to driving in cars is not driving in cars. Default to flying in areoplanes is not flying in areoplanes. If cars and planes were not proven to be safe to some degree it would be rational to walk everwhere.

Where is the evidence for the running shoes??

 

HorseMan:

How do you type your messages on Podiatry Arena. You use a keyboard. Were keyboards used millions of years ago by your ancestors? No.

Where is the safety data on keyboards, but you still use them on a regular basis? The answer?...you still use them and never thought that these devices could possibly harm you even though your caveman ancestors didn't use them.

Do you realize, HorseMan, that there is more scientific research showing that keyboards can be harmful to your health than there is data that shows that running in running shoes can be harmful to your health? However, you still use keyboards regularly...why the inconsistency in your arguments?

Wait, let me anwer for you since I already know what the truth is.

You are a member of the Church of Barefoot Running and think that Christopher McDougall represents the second coming. Your religious fervor for "all-things-barefoot" has completely eliminated any common sense you would have otherwise since you not only speak nonsense but are also a hyprocrite.

Why are you a hypocrite? Because every day wear and use things that have been shown to be unsafe or have never had safety testing done on them. Cars, bicycles and keyboards have all been shown to cause death and injury, were never used by your early ancestors, but you still use them even though they have been shown to cause death and injury. Alcohol causes death and disease and you probably still drink.

But, HorseMan, still you only focus on running shoes because this is what your Messiah McDougall has told you in his Bible, "Born to Run"?!

Here are just a few of the many papers on the harmfulness of keyboards. Time to give up the keyboard, HorseMan, and go back to taking off all your shoes, taking off all your clothes, quit using your cell phone, computer, telephone, pen, pencil, car, bicycle, antibiotics, and medicines, to name only a few things. Then go out and start hunting and gathering like your beloved ancestors, live in a cave or hut in the woods, and don't rely on a grocery store or restaurant to buy your food. It is only in these ways that you can be "truly natural" and your running shoe paranoia can be soothed.

 

Simply stating that does not make it true. You have presented nothing to convince me that you are right except you saying you are right! Have you not noticed that NOTHING in your logic or arguments is convincing anyone?

Where is the evidence for barefoot?
