re: Peter Attia: Foot Health Podcast

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.
