Y’all… Unless you’re an Olympian, it’s not your shoes that are keeping you from hitting your time goals. 99.9% of all of us would be better off focusing on our sleep, diet, and nailing our volume and workouts. But if you think that dropping $250 on “super shoes” is gonna give you an extra second a mile, we’ll, then, the placebo effect is a real effect.

My favorite example of this is in cycling. Buying a 15k carbon fiber bike, to save 5 pounds over a 3k aluminum bike when they're overweight. They could spend 10k on a personal trainer for a year and be way ahead.
