You should go there because you will see thousands of kids that can not afford shoes that stunt foot arch development. Then if you stick around you will also see them, funds and opportunities permitting, develop into efficient runners that grace the very ground they run on.

Oh and before you ask, I have been there and seen it.

Of course I accept that other areas of the footwear market are a rip off. However for the amount of material and manufacturing required to make a pair of Vibrams for example, its a new level of ripping people off and tearing the a** out of your hard earned money. They are essentialy socks with a minimal sole.
