    Mileage Reporting Week 42 of 2015

    HI all, just checking in. I've been running a bit, nearly all in shoes. Some on trails (granite gravel/woods), some on pavement, mostly with my lunas. My lunas fell apart between the footbed and the sole, so I keep tapign them with duct tape. It works for about 1-2 runs. Oh well. It's a pretty...

    Minimalist shoes for kids

    the elusive form

    I have the intellectual ability to understand what goes on in a pool game. I have a physics undergraduate degree. I can compute elastic collisions, no problem. I'm terrible at pool. Don't give me a pool cue.

    Luna sandals OSO for sale

    The venados are the first sandals that I wear snugly around my foot. I always hated that, but these are comfortable, mold around my foot, and really give great grip in the mud. And there is a lot of mud on the trails here lately. I think you recommended them when I started the thread. Thanks. I...

    Sore Calf Question

    One thing I just realized has not yet been mentioned, however. I see some people doing a very exaggerated forefoot stride sometimes (in minimal shoes), in which their heels don't ever touch the ground. I can imagine that as being very tough on calves after a while. So I guess look out for that.

However, look back again at the calves of people who run bf (or very minimal). I used to run in very cushioned shoes. Lots of...
