    Getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to

    remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.    

         ~ Sarah Kay

      And there you have it.

       

      Hey, at least these "ugly" shoes make more sense and feel better than high heels.  Nothing like wearing shoes that squish your toes together and make you balance on your forefoot.  I guess they make your calves look nice in a dress, but then again, so does running.

      Live the Adventure. Enjoy the Journey. Be Kind. Have Faith!

        Just more evidence I need to get Stacey and Clinton to show up at a race and do some ambush make overs.  Smile

         

        I've seen people walking around the city in Vibrams.  Are the soles pretty think/resilient?  Because there's all kinds of broken glass and stuff on the ground.  I would worry about stepping on something bad.

          it would be pretty hard to get a piece of glass to puncture any shoe. if you did happen to step on something that would go through the vibram sole and into your foot, theres not much any other shoe could do to prevent it.

          not bad for mile 25

            I bet there are a ton more injuries for which heels are to blame, as opposed to those for which not enough sole is to blame.

              Good to know.  I've never seen one up close - only on other runners/walkers - and the sole seemed thin to me from far away.

                 +1.  I cannot walk in heels safely, but I can walk for miles in my race flats with no issues.

                  DH just mentioned that even more! people at his office are wearing them (like 5 or 6?).  Mostly the hipster 20 somethings, and not runners.  Glass won't go through what so ever but you will feel it a lot more than a regular shoe.
