I tried going to minimalist footwear / barefoot several years ago after being a runner for nearly 2 decades (and nearly injury free the whole time). I should have eased into it but I went all out because of my addictive personality. After 3 months I had terrible injuries in both legs that took me out for over 6 months. I enjoy the feeling for walking, but if I give it a try again for running it will be a small portion of my total mileage and increase a little every month.

I went minimalist and ended up with a stress fracture in my foot, because I didn't go slow enough. Especially on concrete, it takes time to adjust (maybe just as bad off road, but different issues). It's almost like when starting to run, there are limits to how much a person increases each week. Same thing. Now that I'm used to it, I hate heels. All they do is throw you off balance, and give more torque and more serious injury when you twist an ankle.

TJack Survival Dude, when I started I couldn't even force myself to change my gate. I was brought up in the old thick padding, and run heel toe, high knees and long strides. I couldn't stop and stay more on my toes, keep a shorter stride and lean a tad forward...couldn't do any of that. I ended up running on uneven surfaces (I'm a city runner), because we sort of naturally fall into that gate when the ground is unsure. Eventually I'd start going from rough to smooth ground, back and forth, until my body relearned how to run. THEN I started to up the miles. That was when I got the fracture, and to be honest, haven't run a lot since, but all my shoes are as minimalist as I can get. At least no big heel toe drop. One really interesting thing is I've always struggled with IT band issues when I run, but slowly increasing with minimalist shoes seems to have stopped it completely. The arch on my right foot is too weak, and that style running forces it to strengthen.

TJack Survival I think that's enough! 🙂. Sadly I find the popularity has gone down a lot. It's become much harder to find any kind of selection in foot wear. At least around my area anyway. I think too many people don't understand change, or outside the norm, are too lazy to make the switch, or do it too fast and get hurt. We understand it's worth the effort, but most don't. Those Luna sandals are kinda pricey for a couple of pieces of leather and rubber, but I'm thinking of getting the leather on rubber ones for next summer. The leather should stink less than the all rubber. But what are those shoes, and do you recommend any other shoes? I have used Merrel road gloves a lot, and a pair of sauconys, but you had something more versatile.
@TJackSurvival5 жыл бұрын
Jim F I understand the price abs I have made many of my own, purchased DIY, versions and eventually ended up buying and using daily the Origen II from Luna. All i can do is say trust me you’re better off purchasing one of these if you’re serious about running or daily using them. I say that from experience. But you do what’s best for you. If you do purchase them please us my link in this video so that I get proof that people are seeing them from my video. If not whatever you pick I hope it’s outstanding. Respectfully me

HOME RUN discussion guys! LOL, I asked about this on a previous video and am so stoked you decided to cover this!! I was in the same position as you were coming out of the Army in 2011, all messed up in the ankles, feet, hips, and shoulders. I had the standard, permanent, Infantry ruck forward lean etc. I heard about zero heel lift and minimalist running shoes on a website a few years ago and looked into it. The idea made sense to me big time. My first pair of minimalist shoes were a pair of leather Merrell Trail Gloves (unfortunately no longer made). My feet HURT for 6 MONTHS but I stuck with it and everything changed. I now have a great straight posture and NOTHING hurts anymore, even my knees! The thought of wearing anything with a heel lift now makes me physically ill. I sometimes have to wear heavy boots for certain tasks and it is SO WEIRD doing it. I was looking for some good zero lift hiking boots, but looking at the variety of sandals and shoes detailed here, well, I will be using those from now on. Any suggestions for a tactical/military boot with zero heel lift? Oh, and THE BIGGEST reason to NOT wear heels is because they were invented by the French! Out.

I've been making my own huaraches for twelve years or more and with leather soles wet grass can be interesting. The ones I make are just the Vibram Cherry material and the only issue is when wet the paracord will stretch and the foot tends to slide (hemp cordage actually contracts when wet). I would like to find something like a xero shoe with a more aggressive sole for use in mud, snow & ice. Great video.

How would going from boots to the sandals or flat shoes affect me
@TJackSurvival6 жыл бұрын
You would first feel stretching then pain from muscle growth. It's very similar to when you break a bone and have a cast and your muscles atrophy. Right now you are used to having your muscles and joints supported by your boots and there is a break in period during the transition period where your feet stretch and flex like they haven't since before you started wearing shoes. Just stretch and start simple with smaller distances and very quickly you will be stronger and more flexible and it will become a nonissue. But don't stop just because you get sore from being on your feet for a while. That is growth.

The other Luna's are a bit to soft IMHO, because they smash out so fast. But the Origen being made from a real winter snow tire just can't be beat, and it is a bit more pad. lunasandals.refersion.com/c/82324

TJack Survival I actually had a pair of luna Leadville pacers in that I was going to use for road and trail because of how soft they were. The size was larger than expected and the logo on the toe post was scratchy so I sent them back. I was looking at the Venado 2.0 or the Origen to try next since they revised the sewing on the toe post. The new Origens have leather lifestyle laces....you use leather laces for daily runs? Thanks!
@TJackSurvival7 жыл бұрын
I have leather and synthetic origins. In Utah because I run daily through water and high heat, I prefer the synthetic because of water shrinking and expanding the leather. If you are running any kind of long distances I honestly would suggest the synthetic origins with the ankle strap. That way you don't have to constantly stop and adjust leather and you can run right through rivers and water with zero issues. But leather also is kinda cool and that is what I use for hiking or walking because it's soft.
