I don't know for sure but if the shoes relieve stress on some parts of the body, e.g. leg joints or muscles, you can get more time training other parts at higher intensity with less injury risk?

You would ban a shoe simply because it reduces the chance of injury? That's like, the sole reason shoes exist.

Sorry, I misunderstood the parent. I thought they were questioning why someone would wear these shoes for training.
