Not if you're in Track, and want to keep your toes.

Kind of boring and not very informative.

[TrevelyanTech]

Check out the app Wet test on iTunes

[wanderingaimlessley]

barefoot running isnt for everyone. Midfoot strike is better. But barefoot or minimal isnt the panacea everyone makes it out to be. Lots of people cant run correct even without shoes on. So they need shoes. For some barefoot running is better but not for all.

[MindofaJedi]

@wanderingaimlessley I agree , and who can run barefoot these days ? Ever step on a piece of glass ? It sucks . I have had several nasty cuts over the years walking barefoot . I can't imagine coming down with 300 pounds of force on a sharp object . ouch . I watch fighters who run 3-5 miles every morning and sprints a couple times a week do it for 15 years without injury . What are these injuries barefoot running is supposed to save us all from ?

[xkyo23]

his so black the sun is actually making him whiter.

[HeroicLewis69]

[Tony78432]

This was very informative. May I suggest to everyone Vibram Five Fingers. I have a pair of Classics and they are great for running!

[tomthe13omb]

that barefoot running guys a complete weirdo he cleaned off his feet in that public park fountain like it wasn't shit lol

[dickheadmutha]

FUCKN NERD!

[DoubleNobelium]

how long do you keep a running shoe? I've had mine for one year and 2 months. Do I keep them or get new ones?

[TheHardcorerunner]

@DoubleNobelium YESS, its nesecary to switch em up after 6months or 200 miles

[endurance5000]

@DoubleNobelium Your average training shoe gets between 350-450 running miles. If you are  wearing them for things other than running (casually, gym, etc.) that contributes to the depreciation of the shoe and they won't last as long. The best indicator will always be your body. Once you become "in-tune" with changing your shoes out at an appropriate time, your body will act as a sensor and let you know when it is time to change them out.

[ThatOneGuy1027]

NIke Free Runs for barefoot running feeling

[DrzFnst]

@xavier9706 sorry..now tht i read what i wrote 4 months ago i was the biggest asshole on the face of the earth for saying tht..smh im so stupid nd i dnt deserve a youtube account bcuz of tht shame on me !! wow smh but i have changed but damn tht is screwed up

[AceOHeart]

Great info! I have that last shoe you profiled its one of my favs its a great shoe for all around sport activities.

[seansy17]

dont run barefoot or get caught up in the born to run stuff, at most do barefoot strides...you'll be on your way to a broken foot faster than you think

[MrJulesSA]

This guy is Kenyan. He know about running.

[iDoRimjob]

You guys don't need to wear shoes! Search barefoot running on youtube and you'll see what I mean! runbare dot com is a great site for information as well, happy running!

[seansy17]

@iDoRimjob dont run barefoot man, not tryin to be mean or anything, ive seen to many people get messed up over it.

[iDoRimjob]

@seansy17 I've been doing it for a while now and I'm doing fine; if my body needs to rest I let it rest, don't worry about it.

[tomthe13omb]

@iDoRimjob that barefoot running guys a complete weirdo he cleaned off his feet in that public park fountain like it wasn't shit lol

[lhequatro]

@iDoRimjob i think i feel ashame running on the highway with other runners and im the only one who dont wear shoes

[pooop592]

Shoes don't make you faster they provide you with the grip/stability you need for a more "pleasant" run

[swantonist]

also, lighter people should get a stiffer sole, whereas heavier people would do with a more flexible one.

[cross41]

thanks good information, new balance has always been my preference.

[17lilfaye]

wtf kinda accent id that

[enoughsaidatl]

What is with all of the disrespectful statements? SHEEEEZ!!

[clockworkwar]

I am amazed you have clients, put a top on.

[julianppp]

this dude needs to 1. put a shirt on and 2. stop saying "so.." every third word. thank you.

[DrzFnst]

He looks like a penis with ears lmaoo

[gijosephacoleman]

Read "Born to Run" by Christopher McDougall. There's some advice!

[plastiketa]

Or you can just go barefoot....

Either way, RunningTrainers,org has a good selection

[aborjon90]

the third shoe you showed were actually cross country spikes. Maybe it would be more informative to show the different types of spikes to emphasize the spike configuration and, more importantly, how the toe box is set up in sprint spikes vs. distance e.g. sprint spikes have elevated toe boxes to promote proper sprinting form

[MrJumpification]

Shweeeeews

[mynamestartswithab]

Vibra Five Fingers KSO, or bare!

[randomnessrocksu]

haha i run in converse or whatever im wearing

[Jonbjn]

[wizman02233]

[MochizMuM]

macdonalds arches

[bagy999]

i might get nike darts idk lol

[assblaster17]

Running while wearing running shoes will actually increase your chance of sustaining an injury.

With shoes you'll naturally land heel first. Which is bad! It puts more stress on the nees.

The biomechanically correct way of running is landing fore-foot first.

[Madmardi82]

Oh real good advice moron. Don't wear running shoes! They are bad for you! Go barefoot on the pavement! amiright? LOL

[assblaster17]

I never said shoes are bad for you. Try to do some research before you make yourself look like an idiot.

I hear the internet is amazing these days. You should check it out.

[Blarnay]

@Madmardi82

search: barefootted

[BossPs3]

anoreksia nember 1

[calumania]

[zwartb]

[SkylineJet]

[Runningman3200]

[CJSweet301]

i just wear underarmor shoes

[chiann87]

u think ur so fucking smart

[ozcrak420]

We dont have shoes were i come from!

But theres internet

[ThePITA004]

@ozcrak420  .......... West Virginia?

[teamjinsoku]

i prefer running barefoot in grass.

[SVKmellow]

So in my experience:

1. Take your running socks or simmilar socks into the store

2. Buy a shoe that is just a bit longer than your normal shoe (unless you are a sprinter ;), but make sure the width is alright. Remember that you need a little more space for the toe.

3. CHECK THE HEELS!!! The side should feel really soft.

4. CHECK THE IMPACT AREA!!!

5. Put them on and hop, skip and whatever it takes to feel what they are like.

6. Buy an old model if you are a student and want to save money ;)

[Kadishona]

@SVKmellow 7. Buy Nikes

[SVKmellow]

I don't know about your running stores but when I bought my shoes the guy there was no help at all. He tried to persuade me to buy a tight fit because I showed interest in one shoe but they did not have one size larger!!!

[Ladydaimonds]

Nike womens dart VII Running shoe, are they good? i buyed them yesterday on the internet without any information...

[SVKmellow]

why would you do that ?!?!? did you try them on in the store first?

[rawls3183]

I love that 805 he has New Balance. I love running in it!

[bodies42099]

ASICS is the way to go!

[bymarkgale]

not really no its a fact I am not putting him down. Kids in general just don't seem to be as active as we did.

[Fantabowlo]

do we give a crap?

[bymarkgale]

How true I am 33 years old and put my 14 year old son to shame when it comes to running and fitness when I was his age it would have been the other way round me beating my father.

sony have a lot to answer for.

[noly123454321]

humans are designed to run without shoes that works the best in my opinion just look at the people that win the olimpic medals most of them grew up without shoes... just sayin

[molinobeer]

well well, humans are not designed to competition running/intensive training so, some shock absorbing technology helps for sure!

[Hgreene1130]

yes they are. humans are the best distance-running-animals on the planet.

[Hgreene1130]

yeah he doesn't know what he's talking about.

[supertarzan12]

Samuel Harvell is certified through the National Endurance Sports Trainers Association (NESTA) and is an experienced running coach.

[Hgreene1130]

If you're at all interested in running, I'd recommend Christopher McDougal's book, "Born to Run." He, along with many other people explain that the human foot does not need support, stability, or cusioning, and does not naturally "over-pronate." Running shoe companies have convinced us all that we need technology on our feet, when in fact we need the exact opposite. The more expensive the running shoe, the more likely you are to get injured. Don't hesitate to ask me if you have any questions

[supertarzan12]

But if a human runs a barefeet, wouldn't he got brain damage from all the shocks?

[Hgreene1130]

no. when you run barefoot you land on your forefeet.  your legs are the shock absorbers. you don't land on your heels. landing on your heels gives you shinsplints, plantar fasciits, bad knees etc. look up "vibram five fingers," "running barefoot," or simply look at the form of professional distance runners. look at their footstrike.

[imonaboatman]

he only knows bout chikken n watermelon :(

[redeemTheRupture]

there are special shoes you need to buy if you have no arch; which is not uncommon. And this guy also gave the impression that spiked shoes are only for sprinters. There are spikes for sprinting and distance. If you are running distance, I highly recommend Asics brand. My whole cross country team wears asics. they are amazingly comfortable. Also, if you're starting to get knee or ankle injuries, that means its time to get a new pair of shoes. Generally get a new pair every year or half year.

[3OH3Babyyy]

where are some runnning specialty stores???

[walkydrogba]

ask various runners or coaches, like in rochester, new york we a hav e a store called fleet feet

[spenceb25]

We have that in memphis too.

[johnnynava1]

snails pace

[dandj1200]

I think mr fx2demm will find that people have been running barefoot or with limited cushioning for THOUSANDS OF YEARS. Steve 51865 is right. Using limited cushioning strengthens your muscles and actually makes you fitter as a result, as long as you do so gradually. Over cushioned shoes are proven to cause more injuries due to an unnatural running style and helping with the exercise rather than using the correct muscles.

[Gonzopr12]

I am sorry and maybe I know nothing but the shoe he def showed for a running flat isn't a running flat. And what is a curved arch? If you have a arch they are all curved. I am just saying.

[CHISTOSOBABOSO]

Is it true you need to buy your running shoes a little bigger than your everyday casual shoe size?

[BirminghamMama]

Yes! My running shoes are 1.5-2 sizes bigger than my regular shoes. If I try to run in regular-size shoes the balls of my feet become very painful. Get fitted at a store that specializes in running. If they don't ask to see you walk or run, you need to go somewhere else.

[rinkerall]

i love my newbalance

[Trashtastical]

Just my two-cents...I've been a huge Suacony fan, the Pro Grid is great...but, Mizuno Wave Creation has completely won me over. A bit heavier, but a good trainer!!

[benl24]

newtons, they run amazing . . .

[enie1234]

cortez where track shoes back then

[fx2demm]

bro the nike free is a calf strengthening specialty shoe, its not meant to be run in more then a mile, its practically just made for looks and profit these days..get out of that shoe now before you kill yourself and go to a running specialty store.

[steve51865]

Not true. There is a movement away from over-padded running shoes, even as far as going barefoot. Many people with knee, foot & shin issues are now running pain free as a result of this movement (Nike Free or Virbram Five Fingers).

Nike, over the past few decades, has basically been pawning over-priced casts as shoes, resulting in many unnecessary injuries. Over-padded shoes lead to foot atrophy, improper stride and injury. We are designed to run barefoot. Read Born to Run By Chris McDougal.

[garrydolley]

Our "design" came far before we had concrete and asphalt. If you do a lot of road running, you'll need cushioning to absorb the shock. Bone against concrete is not a good idea.

[steve51865]

Not necessarily. The Tarahumara have been known to run ultra marathons on asphalt wearing only Huarache running sandals, and they do this with no ill-affects.

[tkduane18]

Just bought the Nike Free 5.0 and shin splints are gone, mileage is up and time is down. A miracle for me. Too early to see how they hold up but for now I'm beyond impressed.

[snifnscratch]

I have no connection to the asics company (I work in a hospital), but if you look around the asics website, you`ll get better advice than that given in this utube vid

[dlpmario]

Sorry, by the "solid shoes" expression you mean "ok", "nice", "effective" or more like they are not good for jogging even if you're the flash".? (English is my second langage)

[dlpmario]

I bought a pair of very expensive Nike "running" shoes and they didn't help me. Those shoes just injuried my legs really bad and I could not jog for a little bit more than a month. I'm more knowledgeable about joggin' shoes by now and a doctor told me that New Balance shoes are pretty cool.

[awr051985]

new balance and asics are pretty solid shoes in my opinion

[WitherAway1232]

hes helping you buy a TRAINING SHOE and DISTANCE RUNNING SHOE not track shoe..for sprinting

[Drummaboyy13]

hes helping you buy a TRAINING SHOE and DISTANCE RUNNING SHOE not track shoe..for sprinting

[muyquik14]

i baught underarmour illusion shoes..they're so light feels like your running barefoot..GO BUY A PAIR!!!

[Blacky2000x]

why not run barefoot to begin with ?hell , its summer

[askaryambus]

Doc Martens are confortable running shoes...

And again, please wear a t-shirt!

[o0EDGE0o]

All he needed to say was what he said for the 1st 35seconds of the clip,, cause now hes kinda talkin about what dey would say in the shop..bless him hes tryind soo hard to get promoted to an advert ..lol listen to the way he say's Shoe..also hes just discribing what he see's in the shoe.. hes a pussyKlart

[sethbase11]

Brookes Surge are really good.

[ng17tim]

mizuno wave riders pwn for running

[enie1234]

nike cortez are good

[ShockaSlim]

Cortez arent running shoes.

[ar15boy]

Very informative,

If I can walk 3 miles in 46 min i get a 4% raise. what Shoe would you recommend

for this type of activity? thanks

And vincent should buy some pepper spray!!!

[VincentSinclair]

what are running shoes ? and why run, i just use my car to get around, unless ur running from a dog that wants to fuck ur leg off !

[demonsrockyall]

where are "runnig stores" ?

[filterguy2525]

I did a google map search of running stores in my area and found a bunch of specialty stores that do measurements and custom fit shoes to individual styles...you might want to try that, i'm sure there are specialty stores in your area

[flame123652]

too bald

[afaulkner13]

wtf?

[bridgesfu2]

LOL

[abbylix]

so...in the end if i'm flat footed what shoes do i need?:-s

[Crazyfucker101]

well i have the lunartrainer those are the ones that make my ankles bleed, but other than that i love the shoes and dont want new ones

[CE818]

DUDE! YOU NEED TO EAT!

[b0mb3at3r]

lmao

[Rhantis]

Thanks this helped me alot

[Crazyfucker101]

my running shoes make my heels bleed what should i do? and i dont want to return them.

[philipnewmannz]

Get some custom insoles would probably correct this!

[hurryupfuckface]

hmmm well ur the crazyfucker that bought em!!!

[halofreak2954235]

the shoes dont fit u if they flip flop get a smaller shoe if they r tight get a bigger shoe

[phsyxx]

If you're really desperate - get some scissors and split the heel cushion that rubs on your achilles. It should stop, and should help your ankle mobility. Lots of xcountry athletes i know do it, and it works.

[oO1c3mAnOo]

dont forget ventalation

[TeeLuvsEire]

Are those Asics? The first pair...

[melzgangsta15]

hahaha phillykid is so jealous he cant run for shit mwahah

[lom1945]

Quite clear....
