Sounds like your definitely talking right to me.

Anyone seen the article on barefoot running in the new runners world? Think it advertises it's self as "the truth about barefoot running"
Not had chance to have a proper read yet. Wondering what peoples thoughts are?
Is it written by Amby Burfoot?Originally Posted by eavesy187
It's put together by Dan Jones who i guess is one of the regular writers for the magazine. The main person having input is Dr Reed Ferber from the Running Injury clinic at the University of Calgary. Its an interesting read that covers both the pro's and con's of barefoot/minimalist running. It's well worth reading for anyone that is interested in this style of running especially those thinking of converting.
In Crazy Canucks Land some guys from University of Calgary and University McGill are doing a good job when interviewed by journalists. From what I have read they're not biased.
By the way I have been interviwed by Jill Barker a journalist from Montreal The Gazette (who I think run barefoot) she did an excellent article that has been reprinted in journals owned by CanWest across Canada. And please note that it has been printed before severall studies who were published since then...
You can read it here: If the shoe fits, forswear it

Right

Inov-8 Insider
you started this thread in August - that is 6 months ago - you said then you'd been working on shoes for 12 months - thats 18 months.
You keep dropping in teasing posts 'coming soon' 'wait and see' etc
How long can it take ?!
Enough!
when will the shoes be out ?
(PS I'm in a mood cos I was told in the gym today that I couldn't run barefoot on the traedmill.)
(PPS. though I've since looked st the reg's, which say - appropriate footwear - so as far as I'm concerned that is None)
(PPPS - I'm in the gym, on the treadmill as I am just picking up after a 6 week post knee op. lay off).
(PPPPS - I intend to build up my running with as much barefoot as possible (cloud, silver lining, opportunity, or something) - So I want to know if Inov-8 are ever actually going to produce the shoes that you keep hooting on about.)
Yep, Get'em out soon before everyone starts running in the Evo...

Oh and lets have em' at the usual inov-8 price point. ie a lot less than that Evo.
I would personally like them for the 1st of June at the latest, as this is near my Birthday - its traditionally the best time to persuade the missus that I need to spend money on myself. Also there is a little race I would like to do on the 5th...
For a review on the Vivo Barefoot Evo running shoe look on http://birthdayshoes.com/
slightly off-topic, but i'm running the barcelona marathon on sunday and don't know which shoes to wear. i did most of my training, including all of my longest runs in a pair of Asics Ds Trainers. i've done a lot of my recent shorter runs in a pair of Inov-8 220s.
The Asics weren't perfect and I did get a couple of niggles (ankles mostly) after about 90 mins of running, but I know where I stand with them and could live with it for 3 and a half hours on Sunday.
I still get the same sort of aches in the Inov-8s, but I haven't done as many longer runs in them, with my longest being about 12 miles last weekend.
My head says wear the Asics, but the Inov-8s are so much lighter and I am tempted to think that if it is going to hurt, then I might as well do it in the faster shoes. Yes, the Inov-8s have less protection, but I do run 'better' in them, and I think my problems with the Asics stem from lazily slipping into a semi-heel-striking gait.
Which should I wear?
PS: I think a barefoot marathon may be a bit much for me at the moment.
