Minimalist Jogging Shoes - For a More Natural Gait

There's two ways to go about your time on the trail - you can either buy the best gear and the best shoes with motion control and every other complex sounding feature, or you could go with minimalism. At least as far as running or jogging shoes are concerned, minimalism has certainly taken root, and runners keep constantly trying out great innovative designs these days that try to bring a jogger as close as possible to the feeling of running barefoot. The thing is, thickly insulated shoes that try to cushion and protect your feet, leave the nerves in the soles of your feet unable to actually feel the exact angle of the terrain; cushioned feet then have no a way to respond quickly enough to the terrain they step on. Not only does this take away from the immediacy of the running experience, it also takes away the ability of your feet to adopt a natural posture, and a natural gait. In the end, you could suffer the effects of it in the years that come.

Have you ever noticed how all the running and jogging shoes are designed with a form that places your heel higher than your toes? This universal design is intended to take the stress off your Achilles' heel, and place it on your toes (the theory presumes that your toes are more able to handle pressure than your heels. Minimalist running and jogging shoes however will have almost no slope. They let your foot be level as it was meant to be; and the heel goes with the cushioning it naturally has, no more. But the makers of minimalist shoes aren't usually in complete agreement over what exactly constitutes minimalism. There are several levels of it. The Newton Gravity Trainer places your heel 3 mm about your toes, and other go three times as high. You'll find minimalist shoes with Adidas, Asics, New Balance and everyone else.

If you have been running in standard cushioned jogging shoes for years, the move you make to minimalist lightweight shoes should be gradual. When your feet aren't forced into the unnatural position that commercial shoes adopt, they will take some time to adjust to the new situation. On minimalist shoes you'll usually land on your midfoot when you run; also, the core of your calves that usually have such a hard time keeping your body upright in commercial shoes, have a tough time adjusting when they suddenly find themselves in a natural position again in minimalist shoes. This changes everything for how your muscles coordinate together, and they need to be allowed to gradually adopt your new gait. If your leg muscles aren't properly strengthened with dynamic and general strength exercises, the natural gait might actually cause injuries. In the beginning, it's best to use these minimalist jogging shoes for short distance jogging.

One of the first entrants and the most popular in the minimalist jogging shoes arena is Nike Free. Their shoes come in different levels of minimalism; the Free 3.0 v2 is the barest pair they have, and the Free 5.0 v4 is the most heavily cushioned. Another brand, the Terra Plana Vivo Barefoot is a really pliable and soft pair of very flexible shoes, and the Vibram FiveFingers are shaped with ten toes like real feet. They all do a great job with minimalism, and with a little experimentation, you should find your perfect fit.

The Barefoot Book $12.95 Americans are chronic shoe-wearers. We buy shoes for infants who can’t yet walk. We wear shoes almost constantly, certainly in public spaces, and often within the comfortable walls of our own homes. If we’d like, we can purchase shoes for just about any occasion or purpose imaginable, in a vast array of styles, colors, materials, and prices. Well, of course. We need shoes. We need them for warmth and for protection. We wear shoes to be fashionable and because it’s expected. It’s just what we do. And what’s wrong with that?. The Barefoot Book explores this question and provides a surprising answer. What’s wrong is that chronic shoe wearing is negatively affecting our health and especially the health of our feet. Most of us have experienced pain and blisters caused by wearing an ill-fitting shoe. In some cases, it’s only a matter of minutes before we realize the damage our shoes are causing to our feet. The long-term consequences of chronic shoe wearing are more difficult to connect but are abundant nonetheless. According to author L. Daniel Howell, the warm, moist environment of a shoe-clad foot makes a perfect condition for fungus and bacteria to grow. Poorly fitting shoes cause or exacerbate a host of foot issues from hammer-toes, bunions, and ingrown toenails to fallen arches and Hallux valgus. And high heeled shoes are the worst culprits of all with chronic use damaging the knees, spine, and posture. In fact, continuous wearing of shoes – any shoes – is a problem. Howell explains how shoes redistribute weight, alter joints, weaken foot muscles, decrease foot flexibility, and eliminate sensory feedback from the sole and shock absorption of the arch. This leaves feet weak, fragile, and even more dependent on shoes. Although shoes are meant to protect our feet, they can sometimes cause more problems than they prevent. This is especially true for women, who tend to wear the most unnatural types of shoes, such as high heels. In fact, high heels are likely to blame for the fact that women outnumber men in rates of foot problems by four to one. If shoes are causing such problems, the solution is obvious: take them off. (Or at least, take them off more often.) Ease out of shoes while sitting at the desk at work. Take the dog on a barefoot walk. Declare the house a barefoot-only zone. Spend an entire weekend without shoes. If we dare, commit to a fully barefoot lifestyle. Simply let our feet breathe. A startling idea at first glance, the barefoot lifestyle is one that increasingly makes sense in the context of foot health and culture. Americans might love their shoes, but the citizens of many other countries successfully and comfortably go barefoot. In fact, significant differences arise between the typical American foot, which is constantly shod, and that of the typical barefooter. Hint: barefooters are the ones reaping the benefits. In The Barefoot Book, Howell describes the best and healthi

Barefoot Running $12.99    How could something we have for free—our bare feet—be better for running than $150 shoes? The truth is that running in shoes is high-impact, unstable, and inflexible. Shoes promote a heel-centric ground strike, which weakens your feet, knees, and hips, and leads to common running injuries. In contrast, barefoot running is low-impact, forefoot-centric, stable, and beneficial to your body. It encourages proper form and strengthens your feet in miraculous ways.    When you run in shoes, you not only risk developing poor form, but you also hinder the natural relationship with the ground that running facilitates. Barefoot running restores the delightful sensory and spiritual connections to the earth that you were meant to experience.    Barefoot Running offers the only step-by-step direction runners need at any age to overcome injuries, run faster than ever, and rediscover the pure joy of running. Once you tear off your shoes and learn to dance with nature, you’ll tread lightly and freely, hearing only the earth’s symphony and feeling only the dirt beneath your feet. Hit the ground running with revolutionary techniques for starting out slowly, choosing minimalist footwear, navigating rough weather and rugged terrain, and building your feet into living shoes.

Barefoot Core Workout (DVD) $44.73 Barefoot Core Workout presents a detailed overview of a full-body routine that starts by having the exercisers take their shoes off. Starting the workout at the bottom (i.e., bare feet) enables all of the muscles through an individual’s entire kinetic chain to work together in functional movements along three planes of motion, thereby challenging the exerciser’s whole body. The DVD reviews the fact that this program can be done as either a warm-up or as a full-body exercise routine. The DVD also explains how any one of the exercises can be incorporated into a personal training program. Among the topics covered: the rationale for incorporating some barefoot exercises into an individual’s personal training program, movements and exercises that start by standing and walking with various lunge patterns, upper- and lower-body progressions that make a person’s entire body work together as a unit, and tips for incorporating any or all of the movements into a personal training program. Produced in cooperation with the American Council on Exercise.
