Probably a bigger risk of injury to run in super protected high heel shoes because they teach you how to run wrong.

ye that's one reason why I'm thinking about minimalist shoes as second option(may even see a slight pace increase due to improved running technique?), have to be really careful with my flat foot/overpronation though i reckon.

from what I read the people who really struggle with the transition to barefoot shoes(and getting injured in the progress) are often doing so due to underdeveloped muscles.

These power rankings are turning the thread into full blown ZAIDS, or is it full blown BAIDS?

RE shoes, imo: while it's true that there are objective mistakes people can make with running form, it's way more complicated than say midfoot vs heel striking. Vibram deserved to get sued and true believers who blow off the science because "if we embrace the noble swift sand people of kokopelli we will qualify for boston and recover our humanity that has been stolen from us by Chevron," deserved to get swindled. That said, imo the minimalist movement and Pose etc ultimately get more right than wrong and there's obv nothing wrong trying minimalist stuff for variety, your feet aren't going to shatter. But you could probably get a lot of the same benefit by just gradually working in 5-10 minutes of barefoot running/speedplay on good pitches once a week after training. Even for great athletes, overhauling your running style (to make it work for minimalist stuff) is a big project, it can be marginally worth it but pretty much everybody gets hurt. Born to Run was not garbage but it led directly to a wave of eager well-meaning people getting injured by the thousands; regular runners get injured by the thousands too but the injuries are different. Lots of unknowns with this bc when it comes to running form and training protocols actual science is still catching up to oprah's booksales.

yeah your legs will get really sore before they are used to it. Should probably not go straight from NIKE whatever to minimalist. Best to work your way down towards zero drop.

good post
main reason for me is variety anyway, trying out different things(shoes) keeps me motivated and therefore helps putting enough endurance work in off the pitch.
and like i said, i plan to approach the matter very carefully

Is this genuine? It's been extensively 'quoted'.

Roy Hodgson, "I know there has been calls for Berahino to replace him, and he has been playing and scoring for my other old team West Brom. But people don't understand the gravitas of playing for Liverpool. Lambert playing infrequently for Liverpool is still a step up than playing and scoring for West Brom in my mind."

Woy still feeling guilty about the "space monkey" comment is the only thing that explains Townsend.
