But both of these are healthier for your feet than convential shoes?Yes, if you walk correctly. If you walk like most and strike the ground with the back of your foot it could be more damaging to have a minimal sole.
Yes, if you walk correctly. If you walk like most and strike the ground with the back of your foot it could be more damaging to have a minimal sole.Yes I realize the wrong striking area on your foot can result in leg problems. I have already read several guides on how to properly barefoot run and have already started to practice. My friend also does quite alot of barefoot running and helps me with any questions.
FWIW I have a pair of Vibram Five Fingers. I bought them not long after starting to eat RAF last August. Between the diet and "fox walking/running" I've rebuilt my arches from completely flat feet to noticeable arches. YMMV.
Vibram offers a version of their FiveFingers with a thicker, more heavily textured sole for hiking and trekking, although I don't know the name of it off hand. I just bought a pair for running, and I like them a lot. I also think the individual toes are useful for those of us who hunt, because when you are stalking you can use your toes to grab sticks and move them out from where you want to step so you don't snap them when you put your foot down.Very cool. What do you hunt?

I wanted to purchase born to run because apparently its a great book for getting into barefoot running but didn't know which one everyone is talking about. Is it born to run by Christopher McDougall that everyone is talking about?Yes.
thanks
Very cool. What do you hunt?
