I’m sure Nike or whatever company that paid for this is now researching and developing the shoe which never flicks water onto your shoes for a better tommarow. Yeah, you’ll still be at risk of getting cancer but now you can’t complain about soggy shoes anymore.

This is one piece of reseach that truly sets my mind at ease.
People of the world, sleep softly. Dream the dream of the innocent and the protected- The world is safe, at peace and all well.
It cannot be otherwise if researchers take time and resources to solve this kind of problems….

This doesn’t happen to me. I guess I don’t kick my feet out enough.

Believe it or not, some of us conducted this research and arrived at the same conclusion long ago (>50 years ago, in my case). We used an esoteric method called looking down.

So it was you who back then already saved the world Joe!
Hail Joe!!!

kent state. I’m so proud of my school for figuring this one out haha.
iIt is the 2nd most over cast location in the USA, we get a lot of rain- so of course we’d figure this one out! that and why hamsters are such lushes.

yeah point and lauch at the research, but maybe years later they notice particales of the shoes material are dangerous when dissolved in water. Sure nice to know how it gets wet than

For about three years I’ve been trying to perfect a way of walking that doesn’t do this. As yet, the ministry hasn’t approved it, saying it’s too similar to some other walk.

“The effect is lessened if a person is walking slowly, but shoes designed with car tyre treads on the soles would solve the problem by draining water away before it can be flung upwards, they say.”
Nice to meet you,

anyone thats ever looked down at their feet, while running in the water, could have told you this.
Duh.

ah…Brickenstocks…or more commonly called “rock-in-shoe” explained this water throwing thing. 10 minute walk in them produces 2-4 stops to remove stone or pebble that was thrown there by the sole. If your good you can get the stone out while walking and not missing a stride.

The Ministry of Silly Walks, skipweasel?
This makes me think of bathroom floors, for some reason.
