Healus Running Shoe

[gunkie81]

Harvard study showed barefoot running dosen't reduce long term incidence of injury. (Though it will give you a whole new set of muscles to stress) Metatarsal strike is just the other extreem to the heel. I love the idea of going somewhere in the middle and distributing the stress. It's like an improved version of the Hoka One One, or the Karu.

I personally prefer barefoot.... but hey, w/e works :P

[sec0f111]

uh, wtf am i watching here? that looks like a really unstable platform.

[ryovan]

not bad. However, will all these technology, i wonder which one works the best as I have heard landing on your heel is very bad. How about those top brand shoes that still utilize cushion to absorb shock? Doesnt that work as well??

I will also continue to wear the Vibram Five-Finger or the Terraplana alternative - or simply run in my bare feet. The Healus shoe is simply replacing one man-made technology with another man-made technology - when all the time we have FEET!

Over millions of years nature perfected our feet... then a few humans, perhaps with a degree, decide that they can do better...

ill stick with my vibram five fingers.

@xfightcityx Me too, or the Terraplana alternative. The Healus shoe is simply replacing one man-made technology with another man-made technology - when all the time we have FEET!

They claim scientific evidence. They're probably right: if u compare results with people already running with a wrong technique (most amateur runners nowadays) you'll find positive results compared to other running shoes and the new 'barefoot' shoes of which they claim give Achilles tendons problems. But one has to learn proper technique first!! Historically note: nobody used high tech shoes in the 70's when running was also popular. But I guess halfway wrong is better than totally wrong.

[stresman13]

where can i buy them

[stresman13]

does anybody know a web site i can find to buy them

[Dansolo7]

There are several reviews from experienced runners who have tested and trialed the technology and have commented on the benefits

See the HEALUS website

[adrihartveld]

We are well into a two year project, which very soon will give extra direct scientific validation of the concept. Have a look at the website of FP7 project HEELLESS

[adrihartveld]

There already is a wealth of scientific evidence for the concept both from health research and biomechanics and engineering studies; a summary and references can be found on the healus running website.

[isevo]

fuck that shit some other kind of nosense

[nomilkforsanta]

looks horrible...

[Dansolo7]

@nomilkforsanta Once the technology has been developed the actual "look" of the shoe can be designed.

[Riguyugir0000]

Wow. This is pure BS bsed on the fact it will not help with the ammount of pressure you put down on your foot, no shoe can. This will give people the same problems as any shoe. Also the havinga11 account was set up by someone purely trying to advertise this piece of crap product because the designer is so desperate to get positive PR that they have to set up fake accounts just to get anything positive.

[havinga11]

I use the Healus shoe for two years now. In the period before I often had stiff calves and suffered with tendon (achilles) injury. With the healus shoe my problems are over and I enyoy running more with good results.

[cormacodonovan]

I think it is valuable

[freddijkstra]

This is nonsense. From a biomechanical point of view your just trying to accomplish with a shoe what the foot is already capable by itself when landing on the front foot.

@freddijkstra exactly
