I feel like we're talking past each other...

I'm not arguing for or against anyone's specific claims, just telling you that you don't need a scientific study to say that as people get older, their bodies tend to hurt more

Yeah, but... no one disputed that! It wasn't the subject of the argument.

To be clear, the argument is: Is barefoot running better for you over the long term?

That's it. That's the argument. My follow-up comment was specifically intended to explain that to you, since you seemed to have misunderstood.

Unfortunately, it seems like my follow-up wasn't clear enough.

It's all very puzzling. For all I know we're in violent agreement, here, if we could just align on what's being discussed...
