Hello everyone! I have been running in minimalist shoes for about a year now. I have Rhuematoid Arthritis and thought I was going to have to give up running. Then someone turned me on to the idea of barefoot. After doing my research I decided to give it a shot and it changed everything. I can run with VERY little knee and hip pain. I may never be able to run a marathon ( although I secretly hope to) But I can run again. I rave about the benefits to everyone. Some people pretend to care but most just stare at my shoes and think I'm crazy. I think the'll come around. It's nice to find a place where I can get in touch with people as enthusiastic about this as I am.
P.s. before anyone gets concerned the degeneration in r.a. isnt caused by stress on the joints so while it may sometimes be difficult to get out and move, its better for you.
