    barefoot and pregnant and in need of shoes. :(

    Not surprising results. That study was done on shod women. I'd be curious what the results would be comparing to barefoot women. Barefooting, as I understand it, helps to strengthen the muscles and tendons in your feet so while pregnancy will definitely affect them maybe barefoot ladies have an...

    barefoot and pregnant and in need of shoes. :(

    I'd be curious about the scientific response to the relaxin question. My thought was your body may not have the ability to control what parts of the body that hormone affects. It is just systemically released.? Because it's not just your feet and pelvis, it's body wide as evidenced by the back...

    barefoot and pregnant and in need of shoes. :(

    Thank you all for your responses. I took back the dansko shoes and exchanged them for Topos, 18mm zero drop.I asked for the most material minimal shoe they had to offer and this is what REI had. I'm keeping them. They do have a little bit of an arch that I do not like but it's better than the...

    barefoot and pregnant and in need of shoes. :(

    I guess no one has had this dilemma. :( I bought a pair of dansko clogs, I've seen are very popular with medical people on their feet all day. After a day in them my feet are killing me. My fascia feels like it is pulling too much in these shoes. They are going back tomorrow. Maybe I'll try...

    barefoot and pregnant and in need of shoes. :(

    Any barefooters out there that have been through pregnancy? I am in my 7th month of pregnancy and I'm advised to wear shoes in my last months of pregnancy. Any suggestions?

But I continue to walk and do jog intervals as I can sometimes I get weird abdominal pains I guess is just the stretching of my muscles and tissues.then I walk. I...

    Stress Fracture - Mid Shaft/2nd Metatarsal

    It's good to hear you've found some decent answers. I don't know about the fluid problem. Hopefully someone else will have something to offer. X-ray didn't show a stress fx for me but MRI was suggested to confirm if it's suspected. I just need an order. The problem I have is viritually no one...

    Stress Fracture - Mid Shaft/2nd Metatarsal

    My problem is with my 3rd metatarsal. I had an injury maybe 8 months ago or more where I thought it was a stress fracture but X-ray didn't show anything. Dr. said metatarsalgia which is a fancy way of saying your metatarsal hurts. Back then I knew this was caused from doing too much too quickly...

    Persistant Ball of Foot Pain

    I have heard that it can be very difficult to see some stress fractures. Your Podiatrist isn't a Radiologist so cut him a little slack. ;) Sometimes docs don't know you've had a stress fracture until they see it "healed" on a later X-ray. Besides, what would have been done differently had you...

    Merrell Pace Glove vs. Merrell Dash Glove

    I went to REI and tried both pairs on. I couldn't perceive a big difference in the soles. The road shoe was $110 vs. the Pace Glove being on clearance at $60 so the choice was easy.

    Merrell Pace Glove vs. Merrell Dash Glove

    I haven't posted in a long time. :( I've had a lot going on. Still running barefoot though! :) I have been wearing the Pace Gloves to work because I don't want to do "toe shoes" at work. I just discovered that Merrell now offers a road shoe, Dash Glove, they were not available when I purchased...

    What is the worst thing you've ever stepped on?

    Worst thing I've stepped on Worst thing I've stepped on was today actually. Funny, it was just a little sharp pebble. Frequently on my runs little pebble like things get stuck to the bottom of my foot and I can usually get it off by kind of scuffing my foot as I run but occasionally one sticks...

    Ice Baths

    Ok, I've done the ice bath Ok, I've done the ice bath thing a handful of times, or so, now. I'm not seeing any change in how I feel in the morning. I still get up to stiff, tender feet that goes away within 5 minutes of being up. However, I recently developed some arch pain :( and have...

    I don't have a lot of I don't have a lot of experience with ice baths so this is all new to me. Although, I have heard from many people how its best for recovery after a grueling workout. A friend of mine had climbed Whitney with very little training and dunked himself into a tub of ice water...
