Thank you for this. I was beginning to doubt things even though I understood I needed to keep going. To just be assured that others have an adjustment period and that it’s just hard because I haven’t done it for years helps⚡️⚡️

my heel doesn't touch the ground as well? my foot is like 13:04 when i run

Thanks for reviewing these! I've been looking at them for a little bit.

Okay if i run barefoot on a treadmill 5km perday, will i injured my foot will i slipped and injured myself??? Please reply at the earliest😢 i am joining gym by tomorrow

Hello! You mention the Sockwa X8s for winter and I have two questions about those. 1) Do they keep your feet dry in snow/rain/slush? I searched for them and all information I find refers to them as "water shoes" (you also call the KSO Evos "water shoes"), but what does that mean? Nobody seems to mention whether or not the Sockwa X8s stay dry or get wet. Do "water shoes" keep water out, or just dry quickly, or something else? 2) They look as if they have narrowish toe "boxes" (albeit sock-like) - do these not squeeze your toes inwards like bad conventional modern footwear? Or are they elastic enough to conform to the shape of your foot and not compress the toes too much?

wish happy teaherday india

Ewww that voice

This was very informative, thank you. I really hope this pain subsides because the rest of my body feels relatively okay when running it’s just my soleus muscles that scream with every stride 😂

This is too simplified... I tried to shift to forefoot having been a heel striker all my life. I got tendon injury on the very first forefoot run I tried. Wasnt going faster or longer, nor did I change the surface... still trying to recover from it. And mind you, I have NEVER had an achilles tendon injury before.

just not in arizona

As always, it's not about our best, it's all about money, greed, business, profit. Don't defend this industry of money thirsty business man. 😮

Why does she sound like she is yelling?

Who is the woman at 1:16? Her form is amazing

Ahhhhh, the voice...I cannot even finish the video. She needs to clear her throat and/or chill out

I'm glad to see you back doing a shoe review.

thank u . i love you tutorial

I bought new hokas start getting runners knee 😢😢😢

Thanks!😊

how are they holding up after a year?

You make the shoes look good! These remind me of the vivobarefoot shoes.

Thank you!

Exactly what I'm lookin for!

Price?

What are your thoughts on running barefoot full time on pavement/concrete? I do a lot of barefoot trail running but often it's a few miles to the trail on concrete etc

You will never sound like a broken record.

Looks super hard to do

I've noticed, for me, my arm swing form changes because I usually run on uneven surfaces like concrete. I'm sure many people rarely venture into the asphalt where it is still also never really even. Perfect form is essentially impossible on an imperfect surface. It varies too much. My foot placement is probably the biggest contributor to problems as it travels up the whole body. I don't know if anybody can be unaffected by the inconsistent ground surface. I think I'm just going to have to embrace to novelty of the varying momentary needs. Any thoughts on that would be welcomed (such as the best strategy when encountering those uneven surfaces, etcetera).

NEED something to help my peroneals . wider better i hope

are those the regular or wide width ones?

good info. thanks

Your vids are very helpful to help me stay pain free, thanks!

Information wise this video is very correct. As a runner that ran sprints long sprints and distance, you do have different forms. Full body. Cant wait to look at the foot video next. Your body is a machine.

Good review, thanks - your channel is teaching me a lot

Great review as always. I’m looking at these for both Road and trail so sounds perfect.its between these and the vruns

I love barefoot running!

Soy bogota donde las consigo

Good but Everytime I take them off the insoles try to pull out.

Does it also work for 5000 metres???

It’s about rotating the shoulder girdle backwards like a backstroke swimmer while you run. Kiptum showed the world that it was the best way to use the spinal engine. People are too blind and focus on arms and elbows, it’s a red herring.

Every pro runner runs barefoot. No wait...

I run forefoot but i still use proper shoes.

Good👍👍👍

This is not the reason. Natural elasticity is a contributive, but the main reason the forefoot’s generally faster is because it’s usually associated with footfall closer to the center of mass. Acceleration can’t begin in the stride until the hips pass the forefoot according to physics, so the less overstride = less time to falling forward & accelerating. If we reach out onto the forefoot overstride will occur, & the quicker acceleration advantage isn’t there. The closer to hip landing’s also the reason for less associated injury risk, & that is squandered as well if we reach out 🏃🏼‍♀️no matter what part of the foot lands first.

How is forefoot running compared to midfoot for speed and distance?

Inflammation is necessary for repair, removing inflammation is very stupid.

Last year I went on a 5k run that I was ready to skip out on due to hip joint pains. I focused on walking only on my front pads of my feet with NO heel strikes, completed the 5k and my hips and knees actually felt better. Only my calves were exhausted because I had never actually challenged them for that long a period of time. I was stiff for several weeks to a month..but not in pain. I was thrilled with the result and am looking at the sport line over the current daily wear with hemp material - which are my go to for super comfort going out and about.

Ok, so how do I fix this?

Your shinbones must be like metal from all that impact training. Super impressive

The contents are great, but the narration is painful to listen to.

I hadn’t realised there was a debate, I just thought people who landed on their heels were poor runners. Note: sound volume of foot fall equates to energy loss. On any running machine in a gym, one can tell the people that land on their heels, they are loud.
