The painful truth about trainers: Are running shoes a waste of money?

[Update 08-16 - Wired has written a similar article]

Just one of the revelations from the article:

In a paper for the British Journal Of Sports Medicine last year, Dr Craig Richards, a researcher at the University of Newcastle in Australia, revealed there are no evidence-based studies that demonstrate running shoes make you less prone to injury. Not one.

Regardless of whether or not you fully buy into to everything in the article, it seems fairly certain that you don’t need the most expensive or fanciest shoes to help you out. Save some money and start getting more mid-range shoes.
