  2. Finally the Perfect Minimalist Shoe: Sockwa's G4

    Just to chip in that due to my high instep and wide but short feet, all my life I have had to search for the correct fit. Sockwa x8 are perfect. At first felt strange but as soon as I actually went for a run all was well. I can move my toes about as I run. Highly recommend. As was stated you...
  3. Sockwa X8

    Still running in my x8's. Had my second pair for xmas as sm using more and more. Perfect for me as am unable to go barefoot. Have tried and tried but the pavements where I run are dreadful and I occasionally catch my big toe on some rough tarmack and don't want tk risk injury. Maybe in future...

    Should mention tho that I had to cut my toe nails very short before I ran. Shorter than usual. I am no caveman by the way. The seam kept catching the nails. Whether a slightly longer pair of x8 would be better for car etc but running - no trouble at all

  9. Too much Too soon, your horror stories....

    Really started to get into running again in jan this year. Using merrell road gloves. Not ran for few years due to injury. Achillies. After three weeks calf strain I pushed it and my calf pulled. Like an elastic band. Hobbled home. Rested couple weeks. Took me next few months very carefully...

    I am 45 in a couple if weeks and would love to really give BF a good shot but how do you deal with the pain when unavoidably stepping on a piece if gravel etc. Do you feet desensitise.
