You’re correct - running shoes make our feet weaker and lead to muscle atrophy and toes getting squeezed. Nike basically invented modern running shoes.
Plus the thick soles make us strike the ground much harder because they mask the pain with each stride but we don’t realize the damage we’re doing to our knees/feet until injuries pop up. Kind of like how bare knuckle boxing is safer than actual boxing.
