I'm ready for this ridiculous platform-style athletic shoe trend to go away.

But then again, I guess if you've spent a lifetime wearing shoes that contribute to plantar fascitis and other foot pain, you're probably not interested in addressing the cause and will pay for the temporary relief of increasingly more cushion. Marketing has to earn their big budget somehow!

Good shoe but super skinny. Don't buy them if you have a wider foot.

As someone who wore the previous generation and minimalist shoes and developed plantar fasciitis, I rather have more cushion. Imagine a body part you use more than your feet, and then imagine it in pain whenever you use it. You don't know what you've got until it's gone, as they say. Also, I assume you're a doctor since you know every possible cause of plantar fasciitis and how to address it.

As someone who had plantar fascitis and generally poor foot health UNTIL I went minimalist...well, your opinion isn't worth any more than mine.

Being a doctor doesn't mean anything. I had 3 or 4 before one had the common sense to suggest zero drop and gradually less cushion for the very reason that emerging research suggests: elevated heels can weaken your feet in ways that make injury more likely. Cushion has its value, but these Hokas are a parody of a shoe.

I'm genuinely sorry your feet need so much support to be useful and less painful. My pain is gone and I can enjoy wearing nothing, but it sounds like you NEED special footwear to be happy. That sounds terrible and you have my sympathy.

I assume anyone considering these ridiculous shoes is uninterested in something that challenges their choice to buy into the marketing, but in case you're the exception:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s...21-98070-0

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37935052/

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/arti...MC4212355/

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/arti...C10750558/

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/arti...MC4482302/

You can search PubMed for even more evidence, but don't worry, I don't even expect you to click on a link, let alone read!

Just got mine, yup very narrow compared to my other hokas. These will have to go back unfortunately.

I just started PT for pain in my right foot, therapist recommended New Balance, Hoka, or Brooks to help deal with my problem(s).
So do you think she uninformed, or, maybe gets a kickback for every pair sold in 10 mile radius of her workplace?

Are you being willfully obtuse or is it beyond your ability to think critically?

This might be hard to understand, but it's entirely possible that she is making recommendations based on popular opinion and not science that challenges the status quo. I can tell you didn't look at a single of my links, let alone read them (or maybe you didn't understand the big words?) or you'd realize that "big cushy shoe derp derp heal raise get good fast" is mostly marketing, not science.

I have not once suggested that cushion in and of itself is "bad". I have not once suggested that going "barefoot" (which itself is not entirely accurate) will fix everyone's foot problems. I have not once suggested that a shoe cannot be designed to successfully optimize an athlete's performance.

I have only, and correctly, pointed out that raised-heel and overly cushioned shoes weaken muscles and can increase the likelihood of injury.

Olympic runners are not the concern here. Joe Q Runsalot - perhaps someone like you? - who have weakened their feet over years of poor form and atrophy are the ones with the janky feet. Need cushion to recover from self-inflicted injury? Go nuts. Anyone who sees Hokas and thinks "Wow, those are a good-looking shoe!" is not the kind of person to think for themselves, anyway. They are a silly, pointless, and ridiculous caricature of a shoe that prioritizes foot health. They are themselves the treatment for the problems they cause.

In my not very humble opinion, it appears that you over react, and need to bitterly defend against statements, questions and opinions that challenge your own. ............ Have a nice Life.
