It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

But performance shoes are already a thing in cycling—they're ultra stiff for efficient power transfer.

Nike says the footwear connects the body and mind by engaging the sensory areas of your brain via thousands of mechanoreceptors underfoot - something traditional shoes tend to block.

Feet have a sense of touch. Big marshmallow shoes dampen the feel.
