actually, one of the current trends is away from shoes with loads of protection and towards ones that mimic running barefoot...
running injuries have actually increased since they started gaining loads of cushioning and extra shit, yet if you look at these african runners who do it barefoot they hardly seem to have any injuries.
the theory is that the cushioning stops you developing the stabilizing muscles and leaves you more susceptible to injury.
if you look at a lot of the top marathon runners, they're using minimalist shoes.
