The Tarahumara Indians (Raramuri) of Northern Mexico are famous for their long-distance mountain running abilities. They run in seemingly simple sandals made out of old tire treads. I learned how to make and wear them. They are an excellent running shoe with ancient roots.
You can usually trust indigenous design when it comes to active footwear. These sandals and others similar have been around for 1000s of years, and I know why. They have no frills, just exactly what you need and not a bit more. Elegant design.

Its not the sandals that prevent injury, its the way you run. If you just stay off your heel and use your foot muscles and calf muscle as shock absorbers, then you never get any joint or bone injury. I hear the first couple weeks of training are rough, but after that, a short jog becomes like 20 miles

It took getting sore feet when I first got long distance bike-hiking to make me try to walk different ways, just to keep going. Now I'm out there for two days sometimes, and got into pedalling with $7 beach walkers, wrapping my feet around the pedals, pushing with my arches, and getting away from walking on my heel.
I just want to add, don't jog or run on pavement. Your body will lose. I can walk all day on grass and sand, but get tired by late afternoon on paved paths.

Im sorry amigo, I lived in "la sierra tarahumara" all my childhood and I saw a lot of tarahumaras. I can tell you that the original sandals are made from tires, you must travel and see some tarahumaras and you will notice you are wrong. I have a pair of those and I sell them.

People have been running alot longer than shoes have been around, leather, bark sandals have been around alot longer, and people had healthier feet thousands of years ago, but Gluten, sugar and dairy was unknown to these people, thats why they were so healthy!
