It takes 10 years before the general population will accepts a new and better idea; so we have a ways to go. After reading Born to Run in June 2009 I started using water shoes to run in. Then I started playing tennis 5 hours per week and hiking in them as well. Benefits ------------ - First time I have been able to run since 2000 - Posture Better - Less knee pain - Less ankle pain - Feet are feeling stronger - Better balance - No back pain while hiking When I started going downhill while running was the hardest part. My calf muscles got very tired. At times my calf muscles get a little sore. For some reason I liked going barefoot from the beginning. I just have to repair my water shoes with shoe goo every month. So give barefoot running a try. Good article Dr. Nirenberg.
