Mike and Tyrin, that flyer and the advertising you mentioned is exactly the reason somebody credible (i.e. us) should take a stand and make a statement about what minimal shoes are. To me, the biggest requirement for a minimalist shoe isn't sole thickness or any particular feature, it's simply whether or not it is marketed as being equivalent to barefoot. But more on this when I post version 0.2 later today for you all to savage.
PS TJ when I post version 0.2 could you turn off new responses on this thread and put all further responses in the 0.2 thread? I just want to keep conversation in one consistent place.
OH! And just don't be drunk while you're in Admin mode! I have spies all over the place. I will know when you are drunk, since I am also recording your keystrokes. If I see too many boo-boos, watch out! Teasing, of course.
