The shoes that are made to simulate barefoot running are not for everyone. It's important to be properly fitted for running shoes, to have a podiatrist or pedorthist determine whether or not you need custom orthotics, and to learn what types of insoles would be best for you (sometimes, this is trial by error).
I am a seasoned distance runner and have read both pros and cons, and personal reports from runners who have tested various new types of shoes, themselves. I've had to go through my own fair share of custom orthotics made specifically for my running shoes, testing insoles designed for distance runners - and even mountaineers (for the cushioning) - and various types of shoes.
So, where is your "documented" research to support your statements? Care to share it with us?
Feet are as individual as you are. Nothing will suit everyone.
P.S. My podiatrist is also a runner and takes care of our team.
