As a podiatrist who was a competivie runner and treats sports injuries, I thought your lecture was well balanced and unbiased. I would not call YOU an "angry podiatrist"; however, I have run into a number of "angry minimalist".
My opinions are based on scientific research and not anecdotal "studies". In my practice, I see a number of patients who need functional ortotics to control abnormal biomechanics causing symptoms. Minimalist shoes do not work in this situation.
