My feet are like big flat bottomed meat hammers. I can't believe I once "ran" a marathon with these feet. These feet are monsters. I didn't really run it, but I did jog the frick out of it. 6 hours, 57 minutes. I was flyin!
Ol duder lost a few toenails after that one.
It sounds like Hulklogan and I have similar feet....anyways.... sometime around 2006 I found these things called sanuks. I lived in Hermosa Beach, CA at the time and these grungy surfer dudes were driving their van around town and selling these things outta their van. I couldn't believe it. It was a revelation! These sanuks were just flip flop bottoms that were stitched to a cloth upper, just like a slipper. I still ran in my Brooks and wore older beat up running shoes to work(hospital nursing), but as far as daily wearing footwear for everything else, I have worn these sanuks ever since. Love 'em. They're flip flops without having that dumb strap wedged in between your big toe and the second toe, thus segregating your toes like some kinda monster. Plus..."Thongs" as we called them when I was young, are just g-strings for you feet, and that's trashy.
Over time, these humble sanuks that were sold out of a van became very popular and then the evil Skechers corporation in neighboring Manhattan Beach, CA began to create their knockoff version of sanuks and the Skecher version took off big time. That kind of pissed me off, but by that point Sanuk had raised their damn prices too high and Skechers was selling theirs for half as much so frick it, I guess Sanuk kinda asked for it. Still, the Skechers version was butt ugly and I'll never wear Skechers because 'skecker' means imbecile in Icelandic.
To me, these are minimalist footwear, it's really just a piece of foam to prevent sharp shite from going through the sole of your foot and all the "cushioning" and whatnot is provided by you, with your muscles....like Jeesus intended(Jesus was a sandal wearer too).
Peter Attia and all of the other Fancy Schmancy Pod-Doctors are just casually and consistently working on their promotional commitments under the guise of "Longevity Horse-shite & bullshite" and "Life Optimization Hoo-smackety". It doesn't mean they don't deal in actual science, but the science has to fit the marketing agenda, not the other way around.....and bottom line, the bottom line is the bottom line, and that's the bottom line, cuz Stone Cold said so!

I'm bored.
and in a bad mood.
But she's not wrong, I've not worn the goruck shoes, I have a pair of their 8" boots that I wear when I walk because I walk on mostly gravel or just grass/dirt/rocks, definitely "boot terrain", but GORUCK doesn't make any "minimalist" gear at all in my opinion, not shoes, not nothing. That's why you buy their shite, it's overbuilt so severely it makes Rogue stuff look like it was made by Champion. Those shoes are like a lot of other crosstrainer style shoes, they're more minimalist than a standard tennis or running shoe, but they're still very much shoes, the gorucks are just more "gorucky". I think you have to be a Navy SEAL to understand the difference. I was only a Webelo in Cub Scouts so I don't get it either.
But the real reason he just had to mention his goruck ballistic trainers is because those shoes are now the "Official Footwear of Crossfit and the Crossfit Games".....so eat shite Reebok, Dr. Peter has to sell some shoes. I'm never gonna be sorry about pointing out how aggressively sneakily these pod doctors push the shite they are paid to push. They fricking lie through their goddamn teeth and lean on their audience with their "I'm a fricking doctor, trust me" horse-shite. You're selling fricking shoes jackass, or cold plunge tubs, or what the frick ever. You don't fool me.
