The same could be said for most any decent shoe. All shoes are designed to absorb energy when the foot strikes and release it on the return. Guess we should only allow players in bare feet.
I guess we should look at banning bare feet because the arch serves the same function. Of course, the foot is not a mechanical device (or is it?) but clearly people with high arches would have an unfair advantage over people with flat feet.
