Yeah but at what point is that no longer human talent? Are there regulations on footwear for these records? If not what's to stop someone from using the spring legs that can make you run a hell of a lot faster?

It's still human talent, though it should probably be its own category. Regular sports shoes, and enhanced shoes.

You can make music by singing. Or you could use a piano. It's still human talent.
