I think it is suggestive that soccer players, who on average will run 5 miles during the course of a 90 minute game, play in cleats that are flat, thin, and have no mid-soles and no arch support. Ive never heard of a soccer player getting a "runners injury" despite the fact that they run nearly as much as runners do.

Some years ago I bought a pair of very well cushioned addidas cross-trainers. They made any walking/running activity feel like my feet were on little clouds. However, after a few months I found that my gait had deteriorated to the point that, if I was not wearing these shoes, I would experience serious shock loads up skeletal structure of my feet and legs. I have since consigned these shoes to the back of a cupboard, and now I use plimsole-style shoes (i.e. converse all-stars). I also enjoy the tactile response I have once these thinner-soled shoes are worn in.
