I like this quote from Christopher MacDougall ("Born to Run");
"But ultimately, the debate isn't about Bare Soles vs. Shoes. It's
about learning to run gently. Master that, and you can wear — or not wear — anything you please."
I'm sure the same counts for minimalistic shoes..................

Thanks for posting this, Jacky. I spent seven months transitioning to VFFs and now run in them full time. It does take a lot of work to not heel strike though. Though one common mistake that I still need to correct is that I'm still landing a little further forward of my center of mass.

Yup,i started running in vff half a year ago and after two months end up with terrible shin splints. I started adapting pose method technique and was able to slowly get rid of shin pain.

Nice vid as always.
I saw a girl at the gym heel striking heavily with Vibrams on a treadmill and making lots of noise. Very painful, I agree. She was off in 10 minutes.
