Exactly. I wear cross trainers when I exercise and run (as I use a treadmill at the gym), and I've found that my shoes aren't all that functional. They just keep my toes from showing, and they pad my movement in ways I don't really need it padded. It reminds me of using machines vs. free weights. When you use free weights, you use stabilizer muscles that would go wanting otherwise. Likewise, when your heel is heavily padded and your toes are smooshed into one big toe, you're not using your whole foot, calf, or maybe even leg. It seems counter productive, especially when I pay $120 for a pair of shoes and the VFFs are like $80. My only real question would be, do they come in a size 12.5?
