What type of Shoes do you Train in?

    Duh, as opposed to runners.
  2. Just like the other guy said, I wouldn't mind buying them, but they are not a high priority. If I see them on sale, and I have extra leisure money, then I may pull the trigger on these one day. But remember, they don't have ANY padding on them. They pretty much just prevent your feet from being cut/infected, etc.

    That's exactly part of why I'm interested in em, but that's not "just" what they do. Anyway each to there own. I have a growing interest in barefoot running, and specifically different types of foot strikes while doing so. Part of what inspired my interest was seeing a show on the Tarahumara people of Mexico, renowned long distance runners. (well maybe not renowned, but they're known for running incredible (200m a day) distances barefoot). I can appreciate the effort these guys display, but the idea of running a marathon barefoot, on pavement no less, peaks my interest in this type of shoe. (plus they look funky)

    Since your' focus is on getting back to basics, minus the trip or two to the emergency room, these Vibram "Feet" look like a viable option, they do have a unique look and I guess you are the ultimate judge since you'll be using them and your' opinion is the one that matters

  5. I saw that documentary I believe, it is what made me interested in them to begin with. I am no avid runner, hence they are not a high priority for me. If I were you I would try them Genome, they seem to fit into your goals.

    I have a pair of barefoot runners I use for various things. One important thing to note is that you cannot start wearing them and continue walking and running the way you have been up till now. If you do, you will damage your knees and heels very quickly and noticeably, as opposed to slowly and unnoticeably which is basically what happens with modern running shoes. So their is a training period when you switch to them where you essentially have to learn to walk and run all over again because you have to contact first with the balls of your foot and be overtop of you knee whereas a lot of people walk and run with a heel strike and are behind their knee.

    They are not for everyone however; there is also a variety of 'minimalist' runners which are similar but look like classic runners. The big thing to note is that barefoot and minimalist shoes are there to protect your foot as you move, not cushion impact. You need to move in such a way that your foot/heel/knee/hip absorbs all the impact.

    When I was in Cuba S pent an entire day in them on a walking tour (longest stretch of continuous use to date) and at the end of the day my feet were much less tired and sore than any other footwear I use. It is also interesting to be able to feel what is going on around your foot as you walk

    Make sure you do some research before just buying a pair and jumping into them though

  19. Asics, they are by far the best investment I have made. bought them freshmen year for PE and strength training and they are still good my senior year.
  20. Running shoes are normally the most comfortable for training gym, martial arts or jumping the rope.
