Running shoes may have been "hyped" by marketing over the years, but they really are a necessity.

What about thin-soled vs. thick-soled shoes? Have you experimented with that? If so, what is your opinion on that?

I prefer a sole that's flexible (not necessarily "thin"), so much so that when soles became fairly stiff years ago, I took a hacksaw and cut through the outer sole at the flex groove.
I also replace my running shoes every 3-4 months. Expensive? Yes. But in 28 years, I've never had an injury that I couldn't run through.
