Lightweight Moonboots?

I thought these were a spoof when I first saw the image, but it appears they're a genuine product and the pair in the picture is trail shoe!?

The technology in these shoes is impressive, in particular the explanation for the huuuuuuge drop...

Up to 2.5x the volume of EVA in the midsole compared to standard running shoes. Outstanding impact absorption and a highly comfortable underfoot feel. nThis oversized approach ensures a natural stride whether on smooth road surfaces or the most uneven trails.

A natural stride For who? An astronaut on the moon? There's no way a boot like this could promote a natural stride in anyone.

These things are insane and expensive and the "technology" claims are spectacular. I don't think I'll be migrating to these anytime soon.
