New Running Sneaker Style
I recently saw an interesting article from Wired magazine. Research is being done that is suggesting barefoot is the way to run. I do not agree with this at all, but we will see what kind of literature will be published in the future. Certain companies are developing models like Nike Free, the Newton All-Weather Trainer and the glove-like Vibram FiveFingers.
Could these things be the new Crocs? Only time will tell. I dont see it as a good idea due to the lack of support and cushion. By running barefoot, you increase your chances of sprain, strains, fractures, and developing cuts and bruises. The new sneakers do not seem at all supportive for the heel and arch. I will keep you posted on the new running style to see if any literature is out there. Until then, its best NOT to run barefoot, and to be in good supportive sneakers and shoes at all times.
