Work the best in terms of what? Because speaking from the perspective of body mechanics and physics, they'd stop your foot from doing everything it's supposed to.

QFT. Buy feiyues, then save up some cash and buy barefoot shoes.

These two reasons are why they've been advised against.

We're just saying, is all...supporting your arches and absorbing impact is weakening your feet.
Age is just another obstacle. Get over it.

Your shoes are doing too much of the work when you should be conditioning your feet and executing proper landing/impact distribution.

1. Shoes Weaken Bones in Our Feet
2. Shoes Limit and Alter the Normal Motion of Our Feet
3. Shoes Deform Our Feet

http://naturalrunning.com/research-science/450-evidence-based-science

"The body of studies into the concept of shoe absorption has failed to confirm it as a reducer of skeletal stress."
"Constant protection of the foot through shock-absorbing structures of PECH (Pronation Control, Elevated Cushioned Heel) shoes causes less resistance to the stress of localized pressure. Weakening of foot tissue and barefoot sensitivity have been observed in patients."
