More on the barefoot craze

There is an ongoing debate in the footwear world about the benefits versus risks of barefoot running.
I often peruse articles to learn the latest thoughts about this topic.
Today I came across a new article discussing the foot injuries that this type of training can cause.  It has some great information about what type of feet are suited for barefoot or minimalist running shoes and which feet should have more support.  If you are interested in starting a minimalist running routine but need information on how to start and if you have the right feet, come in and ask us to help.  We can analyze your gait (watch what your feet do when you walk) and see if barefoot running would be a good addition to your exercise routine.  See you soon and happy running!

Check out the article I read here.
