I have been plagued with a knee injury for the past 16 months. It is nothing that is overwhelmingly painful, but it has been a hinderance in my training for various races. I have tried several different kinds of running shoes, and numerous different knee braces and nothing really helped. Well, I bought these Vibram five finger shoes for myself as an early Mother's Day gift and I love them! I have been running with them this past week and I am officially converted. I ran 6 miles today, and my knee didn't start to get sore until 5 miles in. It usually starts to get sore at around 3 miles. These shoes definitely aren't for everyone, especially if you have sensitive feet, but I hate wearing shoes so "barefoot running" seems like a perfect fit for me.
Anyway, you can look up the benefits of barefoot running if you think that it is something that you might like. I love them!
Keep up all of the good work team!! Only 5 weeks left!!
