    These shoes aren't made for running...

    I think that was KB Saxtons ;) Even though I know my form is far from perfect, I think the problem with these is that the seam is in contact with the ground...

    These shoes aren't made for running...

    It seems like the Zem Playas are not made for running (very comfy though)... :D P.S. I am aware that they advise not to use them for running on their website (only saw this now though :( )

    Not a Bug Forum Software

    Hi, just wondering if someone could tell me what "forum software" you're using? Love the System (liking posts, alerts at the top of page, etc...). Cheers. Edit: Nevermind - found it... :D

    Moka Pot / "Espresso Maker" for Americanos and Flat Whites?

    Thanks, didn't know how strong the coffee made in these is (as it's not proper espresso). Think I'll get a 6 cup one though.

    Never healing ankle

    Oh no... Sorry to hear. All the best and speedy recovery! To put it very simple: unfortunately yes. Ligaments & Tendons are usually not seen on x-rays as they are soft tissues. Even CTs (as they are pretty much just fancy xrays) are not ideal. Only if bones are misaligned one could assume...

    Moka Pot / "Espresso Maker" for Americanos and Flat Whites?

    My "problem" is that I don't really drink espresso (and the moka pots don't give you a real espresso anyhow afaik). I'd just like it to brew 2 cups of regular strength coffee in the morning. Now I don't really know how strong the coffee from these Moka pot turns out, i.e. how much water/milk I'd...

    Moka Pot / "Espresso Maker" for Americanos and Flat Whites?

    Hi, just wondering if anyone is using a Moka pot to make flat whites or Americanos? I thought about getting one, but am not sure about the size... Cheers, Pes

    Poll: What do you do for cross-training?

    Started swimming last summer, also weights (with some balance exercises like single leg squats on the bosu ball ;) ).

    If I'm a size 10.5 in Nikes, what size should I get in Zemgear (with socks)?

    Yeah shoe sizes are so different (even with same brands). Have a look here for the original style size chart: http://zemgear.com/uploads/ZEM_360_Size_Chart.pdf And here for the newer styles (with foot length in cm): http://zemgear.com/uploads/sizeconversionchart.pdf And here's some more...

    If I'm a size 10.5 in Nikes, what size should I get in Zemgear (with socks)?

    Don't know about Nikes (or if you mean US or UK sizes) but I just measured my feet (lol) and they are about 27 cm long. I've got the Zem playas in L and they were to big (instead of posting them back and paying for P&P I just altered them manually hehe). I should've gotten an M. I believe they...

    how to start

    I actually started in late April, so it was fairly "warm" (never really gets warm in Scotland tbh) - I think at that time we had about 10-12°C and that was ok. You're right, with the temps we have atm (specially since it's supposed to get a lot colder the next few days) barefoot walks might not...

    how to start

    I know what you mean... Developed severe Achilles tendinopathy while doing about 100km/week 2 years ago. Didn't really find anything that helped in particular (apart from maybe calf raises and TENS - google Alfedson eccentric calf muscle strengthening). I then started (after a long break)...

    Calf pops when running or going up stairs

    Could be a number of things (cruciate ligaments, meniscus, tendon of the soleus muscle, a cyst, fibula subluxating...). So... this is probs not going to help, but probably better to have a doctor or physio have a look at it. Sorry I can't be of more help :(

    Calf pops when running or going up stairs

    Probably best to see a doc ;) What do you mean by "pop"? Where exactly?

    Never healing ankle

    Probs best to go back to the doc and explain the pain situation. Hobbit got it spot on if you've ask me - there's tons of ligaments, tendons, nerve fibres and muscles in your feet, that wouldn't show up on xrays. Questions you can ask yourself that might help your doc (which he should ask you...
