If you're going to run in them John I would suggest 1 mile at a workout and adding mileage onto that one mile to gradually/weekly. I would also suggest looking in to "Chi" or "Pose" running and their warmup techniques and exercises. If you are thinking of going into barefoot running.

A few of the guys I kayak with bought these for our expedition last year and they could'nt get them on with sand on their toes so just a heads up, they spent most of the weekend barefoot.

As far as them helping your knees... or back.. I doubt it.. what will happen is that you will strengthen other "helper" muscles that will in turn help your knees and back.

If you're thinking of going with a minimal shoe look at the Inov-8. Brand of minimal shoes I've got a few miles on a pair of Inov-8 F-Lite 195 and they're awesome. Again Faster and Zappos are some retailers who carry them. They weigh 195 grams and if you didnt have to tie your laces you would not notice them.

Merrel also makes a decent minimalist shoe but I dont have any first hand experience with those. I recommend the F195's without a second thought though.

Domination takes full concentration..

Me run ?











No - but I walk far and fast and walking a lot more with the dog these days.

I have a friend that has these and he says they are great for all kinds of foot traffic.

But this is so I can take out The Joker on the long walks.

These would be perfect for you John , matches the joker perfect. Nice comfy toes for your piggys..and they are "performance ,running " socks. I would imagine you would have to run pretty fast to escape the guys chasing you!

Does your incessant whining make you feel better? How about you just shut the hell up and suck it up? It's a fishing forum , so please just stop.
