I'm Frans. 43 jrs old and living in Zeeland.
I start running probably 20 years now. The first 15 years in "normal shoes'. Then i read Mc Dougall's book and bought myself a pair of Nike Free's. A year later i ran in VFF KSO's. I think the best runs i've ever did.
Then 2 years agoo i've got an injury on my Achilles. The specialist advised me to stop running in my VFF, the injury was caused by overpronation.
I wore special orthotics for a few months. Then my knees start to hurt very bad (runnersknee and a jumpersknee). I threw away the insoles and start running again in my Free's. And everything felt just right again.
This week i ran 5 min in my KSO's and it was okeee again. No pain in knees, in my Achilles.
In house i walk barefoot and in my job i wear Birkenstock shoes (flat and roomy).
 
Welcome!
