New Nike Free running shoes.

My buddy just got a pair of these. Now I’m super jealous. But since I just dropped $70 on a pair of New Balance running shoes last week, I can’t very well go out and drop $80 more.

It seems that people are starting to listen to the idea that our shoes are creating a lot of our problems when it comes to running. I have a very high arch, and the softer the shoe the better. My foot needs a little cushion, and a lot of freedom to bend. If my shoes are too stiff I feel it the next day.

This is a very good book to read if you want to know about running and some of the health issues we’ve created by not using the proper footwear.
