Barefoot Running

[Dino123]

not recommended as you do not know what is on the floor

Running barefooted only for short distance... I think

[Watchheights]

Nike running shoes and you'll never go wrong

[KeithTimes]

Any health benefits?

Ouch! Do you always run barefooted?

Wanted to do barefoot running for a long time and I was thinking of getting the swiss FYF (search Barefoot Company - Fyf in Goolge) instead of the vibrams. Claim to be 15x stronger than steel. What are your thoughts on this?

been using vibram elx for 6 months. no injuries so far.

to me, less stress to my knees but on calves and thighs

as regards to fyf socks, review is that not suitable for normal running, will have holes after 30 or so km on toads. probably good for stafium tracks and such, so barefoot friend is not recommending.

look out for skinner socks which is supposedly better but would presume not as lasting as vibram for normal road and trail running

Tried barefoot...still prefer traditional running shoes. Just a personal preference.

knee injuries due to running

Barefoot or no barefoot, running is an awesome type of exercise! So go barefoot, cushioned, shirtless, whatever.

I would presume your form/style of running is much more important for knee injuries (or not) than the type of shoe you are wearing...

Need to be careful with knee injuries. Especially if you are doing long runs. it good to seek specialist advice if it's healing well with a few days rest

as long as you are skinny, barefoot running is quite okay leh. very light and comfortable.

barefoot running for short distance and sprints are fine, not for long distance tho!

[QUOTE=kennyleow;421362]Barefoot running is good. I have been doing it for a long time now. Wearing the 5 fingers. Now my new balance is collecting dust. This is really injury free running.[/QUOTE
hope to try it one day soon.
