Wiggling Their Toes at the Shoe Giants - NYTimes.com: "Recent research suggests that for all their high-tech features, modern running shoes may not actually do much to improve a runner’s performance or prevent injuries. Some runners are convinced that they are better off with shoes that are little more than thin gloves for the feet — or with no shoes at all.
Plenty of medical experts disagree with this notion. The result has been a raging debate in running circles, pitting a quirky band of barefoot runners and researchers against the running-shoe and sports-medicine establishments."
Comment -- To me, this seems not at all quirky. More like totally nuts.
I don't mind running on the tennis court -- it's actually pretty fun -- but I've never had much interest in just running for the sake of running. Still, I have the utmost respect for my readers who have completed marathons. I'd be interested in what you think about running barefoot.
