I've seen a few times that the Keen Delaveaga is a "preferred" shoe for disc golf because the toes are built up, etc.
I've recently (the past few years, to some that might be recent ) been big on minimalist footwear, zero drop shoes with wide toe boxes, etc. I run in minimalist shoes, and wear minimalist golf shoes (TRUE Linkswear). I wrote a big post on my own forum (golf) about how good minimalist shoes are for you, etc.
What are the thoughts of DGers on the recent movement in footwear towards minimalism, towards relying on the structure and strength of your feet (or rebuilding the strength of your feet after wearing supportive, overly cushioned shoes)?
If you start to look into it, you'll find growing support and evidence that supportive, squishy shoes are actually bad for your feet. Now, that's a little more to do with running than walking, but it still applies to just day-to-day walking and living, too.
Any thoughts? Any minimalist shoes that hold up well for the DGer out there?
