However, please note that everyone's feet are different and don't just buy whatever shoes someone else wears.
The stats is this article are so general they don't make much of a point at all. Most upsettingly for me (a minimalist evangelist) they seem to dismiss barefoot style shoes out of hand.
For me Altra have made the key components of barefoot running accessible: no heel - so I land forefoot, wide toe box - so my toes can splay and some cushioning - making at accessible.
If you are a 50kg elite runner with narrow feet and perfect technique the shoes probably won't make as much difference to injury as your average 80kg runner with dodgy technique (like myself!!). Altra have been a game changer for me.
That said, I was provided some Hoka shoes a while back (I usually wear Altras). I found myself bounding in a very similar stride to Jim Walmsley. Looking back through the data, my cadence dropped from 180 to 155-160 without much of a thought. I wonder how much the shoes affect his gate, his injury rate, and his performance. Would he be a faster runner if Altra had picked him up instead of Hoka? Zach Bitter seems to do okay.
I've never seen them in a store to try on though, so you'll have to order them from Altra's site and send back the ones you don't like. I find they run a little small.
