A quick update regarding running shoe manufacturers and the apparently very uncomfortable issue of evidence.
Number of major running shoe manufacturers contacted= 18
Number who have responded= 11
Number who have provided evidence that their running shoes decrease injury rates= 0
(Number of legal threats= 0)
This is all very laissez-faire (let the buyer beware), but I think we can do better.
I think it is time to harness the power of numbers. I will post an online poll on this blog. If you want to see a straight answer from your cherished shoe brand posted on this blog then vote now!
