There seems to be a wave of media attention on this following the release and popularity of "Born to Run".
If you are a runner or would like to be one, it's a good read. And if you haven't found out about it yet, check out Vibram Five Finger "shoes" which allow you to start barefoot running without the callouses and hard skin: http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/ http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/
- mrduncan 17y agoI'm sure I've said it before, but if you're interested in running I really recommend checking out the book. http://www.amazon.com/Born-Run-Hidden-Superathletes-Greatest/dp/0307266303 http://www.amazon.com/Born-Run-Hidden-Superathletes-Greatest...

- 3vad3 17y agoI have been using Five Fingers for about a year. I initially used them to help me rehab a muscle/nerve injury in my leg. I have found that after learning to run in them my legs and feet never hurt like they did when I ran in my "running" shoes. I used to get Iliotibial Band Syndrome when I ran over 5 miles a day. I have yet to have IBS come back after I switched to the five fingers. You learn to slow down, cut your stride down and pay attention to where you are placing your feet.
