We all read that wearing the right shoes is so important for running. However, a question in my mind is how important can they be really? I mean anybody can walk into a shoe shop and buy some running shoes and, were we to believe what we read, could be setting themselves up for injury. If this were the case how come we have never seen any litigation against either a running shop (for not selling shoes with expert advice) or a manufacturer (for not attaching a health warning to shoes)?

As for the litigation thing, I don't think the shop of manufacturer can be held responsible for you injuring yourself (despite the advice about getting the right shoe that is made available to us) since it's ourselves who are causing the injury in the first place despite what we're wearing. It'd be nice if all shops made sure that you had the right shoe but I don't think that's going to happen and is the main reason why most of us stick to specialist places like Sweat Shop.
That's what I think anyway!
