I've mentioned my Paleo lifestyle before on this forum. Part of what goes into that is barefoot running. I know that some time back I posted about my Vibram Five Finger shoes and those are great - I recommend them. Only problem with that for me is that they aren't designed to be worn with socks and by Air Force regulations we are required to wear white socks with PT shoes.
Solution?
I just purchased a pair of the new barefoot New Balance Minimus shoes from Good Outdoors over on I-10 and DeZevala. I got to take them out yesterday and today as well.
These are great shoes and unlike the Vibrams these ARE designed to be worn with socks so they work perfectly with military regs.
I used to be the kinda guy that hated to run. It just made my body ache - my ankles, my knees, my hips. It was bad. Using barefoot running shoes forces me to use a proper running form and takes all of that stress off of my joints, so now I've gone from hating running to actually craving it. I wish we had shoes like these back when I played ice hockey and my coach had us running six miles forward and six miles backwards daily. It's funny that we'd have to advance shoe technology to be able to turn the clock back to our paleolithic running roots.
Do we have anyone else here that enjoys barefoot running?
Merrell also has a great shoe on the market for barefoot running.
