Your BODY is the vehicle that allows you to use the tools of the mind to act in congruence with your desires on a daily basis, thus creating your dream life.
- Barefoot? Shoe? Orthotic? Type of shoe? So many questions …
With a chiropractic practice named Barefoot Rehab and how much barefoot running, Vibrams (those funny looking toe shoes), Inov-8s, and other minimalist footwear are buzzing around the interweb, I guess I should be ready for all of the questions on minimalist footwear.
What are your thoughts on Vibrams, Inov-8s, or Nike Frees?
You’re not supposed to wear orthotics, are you?
Shouldn’t everyone run and walk around barefoot?
Why do my ankles hurt when I run barefoot or when I run with $200 pairs of Nike “Fluffs”?
In this post, I will address some of these questions.
Writer’s note: Please keep in mind, this information comes from the perspective of a doctor who deals with acute and chronic pain, and takes it as his responsibility to get and keep people out of pain. This perspective may be different than your runner who took up barefoot running without problems, strength coach, or other hippie type who all have their own motives and beliefs.
