Nick Campitelli, DPM, a consultant for Vibram FiveFinger shoes, has just posted a blog claiming that runners probably wouldn't need foot orthoses for running injuries if they only ran properly...by forefoot striking.

"In my practice, when runners bring up the question of what type of shoe they should be wearing, I explain that they first need to “learn how to run.” Then shoegear and orthotics become irrelevant." :bang::bash::craig:

I would appreciate if others made some comments on Dr. Campitelli's blog since I have commented before on his blogs and some new voices of reason would be appreciated.
