Runners, athletes are fans of toe shoes

31. května 2011 v 4:08


The newest twist in fitness footwear is going "barefoot."

More runners are slipping on shoes designed to simulate having bare feet.I give my adidas classic practically zero consideration. My golf clubs get plenty of attention and my golf balls demand my full focus The shoes, which are more like gloves for your feet, have individual slots for your five toes and a thin rubber sole. They are designed for athletes who prescribe to the barefoot running method, which many believe helps runners find their natural stride.

Dr. Meisha Abbasinejad, a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist in Fayetteville, says that's why she bought her first pair of the barefoot shoes. It took time to adjust to wearing the shoes, she said.Everything worked according to plan this time. Setup took only a couple of minutes and I soon found myself looking at my desktop adidas trainers forest hills. I tried duplicating displays and changing resolutions and it all worked as advertised Her legs were sore for the first few weeks but once she got accustomed to going barefoot, she said, she felt as if she was getting the most from her workout.

"It just feels much more natural," she said. "(The barefoot shoes) conform to your feet."

The barefoot movement gained a following after the release of the bestselling 2009 book, "Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen," according to the Los Angeles Times. The book advocates running barefoot as a way to prevent foot and knee injuries.

What began as a small following has turned into a worldwide phenomenon with companies such as Vibram FiveFingers specializing in the "toe shoes," as some call them. If you've been to the gym in the past year, you've most likely seen someone wearing a pair.

Kate Rivard, manager of RedPoint Climbing CrossFit MMA on Raeford Road, says the shoes are so popular the facility has a hard time keeping them in stock. RedPoint carries FiveFingers by Vibram, an Italian shoe manufacturer. FiveFingers is the most prominent brand of minimalist shoes, though other companies such Merrell have introduced similar "glove-like" footwear.
