that TOBIE HATFIELD has no credibility IMHO

designing what sells best, that's what he's probably good at

[keeoone87]

I'll stick with my five fingers. It was a good start though for nike

[k3vnrokz]

Haha the guy running on the tredmill landed on his heel! So much for barefoot feel.

Holy shit!  The most EPIC HEEL STRIKE EVER AT 1:08. NIce one NIKE!

I love these shoes. Super light weight. I have been trail running in them for four years. My feet and calves are much stronger, Balance is better. No knee problems. Great product for me. Tried five fingers but the seams unraveled after 3 runs on my big toe (both feet). Not bashing them but I don't think the were a good fit for my foot shape. The free has been a great shoe. Wish they had a little bigger toe box as I have wide feet.

nike is wrong...  you should not land on ur heel!!!!!!

[JaBunGa23]

@1doi3 thats what they said.....

[Giarknot]

@kayvansylvan yes, barefoot is best, but barefoot doesn't save you from the cuts, bruises, blisters and dirt that you can pick up in a short run down the street. Shoes partition you from that pain.

[toby099]

that running demonstration in the red shoes is wrong, you NEVER land on your heel.

[kboy3141]

teh wya that person ran on treadmill is unatural.

[egoscueg]

It's not the shoe's fault if you damage you knee. It's the body which you bring to the shoes. These shoes and the five fingers are great and WILL make you stronger, if you body is set up properly for that. Check your body position and then get yourself moving!

Question: How do we continue to sell product in the face of mounting evidence that our products may have been counterproductive?

A: Admit as much (though not directly or explicitly) and then design a shoe we can promote as providing all the benefits of a naked foot one can get without discarding our shoe altogether!!

Brilliant!!! They will line up like sheep with credit cards in hand!!!

[kayvansylvan]

The best "Natural Motion Design" is your own bare foot, people!

If you really need to, get a pair of Vibram Five Fingers; they will last forever.

Also, the running form that is shown here (the person running on the treadmill) will trash your knees over the long run. Learn about POSE running or Chi Running instead of wasting money on running shoes!

[caledfwlch]

actually, ive owned a pair of fivefingers for a year and they are disintegrating. i run in them every day though.

also the tarahumara have prolly the best running gait, pose, posture etc etc. rather than chi or pose.

[kayvansylvan]

Can you describe their posture and gait? Thanks!

[caledfwlch]

they run with their backs straight. no leaning into their run or slouching or hunching. and they run witht their toes pointing down, not up.

[kcbros151]

wait..r u saying the shoes would in time damage your knees?

[caledfwlch]

yes.
