Well, after owning a pair of Luna sandals for a few months this morning
was actually the first time I've run in them. The Intel 10K is happening next
Wednesday and I'm worried about the heat and road conditions for a pure
barefoot, so thought I'd give this a try... It went sorta OK but there are a
couple issues I hope someone here might have solved...
First, the weirdest thing is my right foot tends to pick up little pebbles from
the heal and then they usually get stuck and i have to stop and flick them out.
What I find really interesting is that it seems to only happen on my right foot
and not the left, so I suspect it says something subtle about my gait, just not
sure what.
Second, also interesting, on my left side the back heal strap tends to slide down
and eventually I need to stop and pull it up. I just saw in the accessories thread
the idea of an anklet to hold it up so maybe that's the answer to this.
What words of wisdom do any of you have about quirks of running in sandals,
I didn't have any serious problem, did 5K this morning, in fact I think if I could
eliminate these two problems I might get to like the things. Could it be the anklet
on the right side would keep the pebbles out too??
