"Runner and running shoe designer here and my feet are fine. Maybe the shoes aren't your problem, maybe it's just you?"

"Everyone is totally missing the point here. Every shoe is "disposable", it's only a matter of when, not if. 1 race for performance gains is worth if if you are an elite. The price is a non-issue as elites don't pay for the shoes, they are sponsored.What's interesting is how this shoe was possibly made.https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxOamhUvV4M/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==PS. Did you see that a Women's Marathon record was set in a version of this shoe? "

"So company that makes the shitty products goes out of business? I’m surprised. In todays market I’d expect the good one to go bankrupt while the race to. Bottom escalates. No problem. Just hire some Tik Tok Gen Z kids to be influencers and pyrex/Pyrex? pYrex?/pREX? will be cool again and printing ironic money. "

"Why are we celebrating knock-offs?"

"IKEA has oversized bulbs like this for less than $20 that look great and don’t need an app or hub. These seem a bit gimmicky. "

"I literally thought they were the opposite of how they are labelled. The convex surface is wide and flat for you to push on and the concave is wrapped up to invite you an edge to pull. So there's that."

"Nope"

"The beer most people drink in the US is yellow water. This won't help."

"Kickstarter “sales” should never be a measure of success and some of these are gimmicky, but overall a lot better than I expected, though as usual with the platform, overly hipster-ified and a bit obvious. "

"Except it's bent metal. There's no tooling."

"Is this a Kickstarter ad?"

"Neat design. 100% greenwashing. These shoes are designed for hypebeasts and sneaker collectors. Nobody is going to recycle them, some may not even be worn and just saved in a box to resell in a few years as deadstock. It's a great innovation in design, assembly and commercialization (based on the Presto Clip from 2005?) but they likely aren't event making enough pairs to make a difference in their total company enviro stats."
