I think there are people who need the support and there are people that don't. <br /><br />It's funny - my aunt sent me an article she found in the local paper that was backlash against the barefoot running thing - people saying they got injured, etc. Well, there are people who get injured all the time wearing "running" shoes. What's the difference? Find what what works for you and do it. Let everyone do what they want. If you get injured - that's part of playing sports - learn from it and adjust for yourself.Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10582512613040917425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845384595164369254.post-59689196286744139742011-08-04T06:28:12.278-06:002011-08-04T06:28:12.278-06:00Barefoot running is not for me and I would never t...Barefoot running is not for me and I would never try it (then again I don't have any reason to). My Brooks Adrenaline are good for me (if it ain't broke...). I 100% agree that we are going to see a spike in stress fractures and other injuries because people are buying VFFs and completely using them improperly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845384595164369254.post-88257145882420607402011-08-04T04:51:37.096-06:002011-08-04T04:51:37.096-06:00I have two pairs of Nike Frees and I have definite...I have two pairs of Nike Frees and I have definitely limited my use. I will use them mostly for cross-training and short runs. I tried using them for longer runs but the next day my feet and legs are usually in a lot of pain. I get the whole idea, but I don't think barefoot running is for me. I pronate and I really wouldn't want to risk injuring myself! I'll stick to my New Balance for running :)Christina @ The Athletarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07328839478273608532noreply@blogger.com
