Just read an interesting article on research into possible foot injury, especially plantar fasciitus, caused by the design of running shoes. See the article here theguardian.com/science/202...

About the same time the results of the first of such research studies into running shoes (not done by the manufacturers themselves) was starting to trickle out.
