FiveFingers Maker Will Pay Millions To Suckers Who Bought Its Shoes

That is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read. Humans have existed as we currently are for 2-400k years. Upright hominins, our ancestors, roughly 3 million years. At best we wrapped some animal skins around our feet to keep warm in the winter, same thing as vibrams..just a thin protective layer. But because what has now become a soft lazy sub species of humanity...the western vaginus americanus(TM)...doesn't heed the advice of specialists on how to work your way back to running barefoot, a company which basically makes a weird hyper inflated version of an Indian moccasin has to shell out millions? Wow. Ok.

FiveFingers Maker Will Pay Millions To Suckers Who Bought Its Shoes


The favorite toe-shoe of vegan restaurant servers and 55-year-old men with ponytails has settled a class action lawsuit brought against it by what sounds like every person who ever wore its foot-condoms.

...

In penance for its crimes against fashion and humanity, Vibram has placed $3.75 million into escrow. Those funds will go to the fitness idiots who purchased a pair after March 21, 2009, with up to $94 for each in an effort to help your friends and family not shudder when looking at your feet.

I feel your pain Mitch. I highlighted the salient points for you.

Oh, and btw: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAH!

Even Chris McDougall is apologizing for accidentally creating the barefoot running movement. It was a chapter from his book that to quote him: " I was really on the fence as to whether to keep it in."

Oh, and BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHHAHAAH!

That is all.

You should be happy! The noble US court system is sticking-it to evil US corporations for making products that hurt people.

Here's the study that shows how those things cause bone marrow edema: http://unique-sportstime.de/site/wp-content/uploads/Barfuss-Laufen1.pdf

You should file a claim. On top of that, you should sue them for making you post stupid and clueless things on the Internet. There isn't a court on this planet that would contest that fact.
