I could see these having some applications, like wading. I imagine they would be useful for rock climbing or something where it would be beneficial to have your toes free.

I wouldn't run in them if you paid me. That's asking for an ankle or foot injury.

Not really. Ankle injuries are caused by rolling on the amount of cushioning under the foot. Everything I have read says these shoes all but eliminate them.

Im sure there is a disclosure on the back that says: Except when you land on Panthro's foot.

I was talking more about causing ankle injuries if you are running on uneven surfaces and foot injuries if you're running on flat hard surfaces. I did a quick google search, and I found plenty to indicate that people who run with these shoes suffer from a lot of tendon/ligament injuries and stress fractures of tarsal bones.

It's a money-making gimmick. Just like those "shape-ups", they do nothing for you but provide you with peace of mind and the chance at an injury.

I ran in them yesterday and liked them. Especially sprinting, felt a little like track spikes from my high school days. Very comfortable. Can't wait to try wade fishing in them, will beat soggy tennis shoes.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
