Barefooting Bob said:It is the same way up here in Canada. Requirement for gym in Winnipeg is a pair of 'supported' running shoes. We ended up getting our oldest a pair of Minimus, because I knew the gym teacher would of not accepted his VFF's because 'they do not look like running shoes and they have no support, so they must not be any good for sports, and god forbid he go barefoot'. Blah, blah, blah, still a lot of that up here, but it is slowly getting better.

Zola's first televised race on British soil, and her first recognised record, the British and Commonwealth women's junior 1500m. She beats the previous record by 9 seconds. Pay attention...she only needed an opening.
Barefoot TJ said:Geez, Smelph, thanks for the complex. :-(
Probably had to do with my trying to get the guy taking the picture to realize the camera wasn't the problem on his fourth attempt to take the photo but his wearing the gloves were.
