My husband just told me the minimalist Altas are causing him the pain behind his foot. I just tried to tell him that he's going back and forth between shoes but he says he's been wearing sandals for 3 weeks. He wears his regular Brooks to the gym, work, and sometimes just out shopping, hiking boots on the trail, wearing flip flops and Birkenstocks the rest of the time, and sometimes wears his Altas.
When I try to talk to him about it, he rolls his eyes, cuts me off from saying anything else, and says "I don't want to hear it, I'm just telling you it's not working for me." He is the one who sought out the minimalist shoes in the first place, I wasn't even the one who suggested it. I'm just so frustrated, he was so close to giving it a go.
I know what the answer is ... Just give up, right? What can I do? He seemed so interested, but now won't take any advice about transitioning. I've emailed him links to info, videos, trying to get him to do his own research. He certainly won't listen to me.
If he stopped complaining about his injuries and issues, I could just forget about it. But he's always commented on his injuries, even before the minimalist shoes. What would you guys do? Give up? Hide all their high heeled supportive shoes? Help!!! =(
