Barefoot Running

[Biciclista]

the article that Oakleaf mentions above listed several shoe manufacturers that supposedly carry minimalist running shoes. the only one who seemed to have minimalist shoes was the Terra Plana brand. The others all carried running shoes that looked like they had the typical big heels, etc.
I walk in Nike Free shoes, before that I was wearing a popular brand (i forget) with a big built in arch and a firm sole. My feet hated them. TOo bad, they were so cute.

I believe what we need is something to protect our feet from the elements and the glass and other sharp stuff on the ground; nothing more.
