OK, so I went to the Big Peach Shoe Company in Atlanta, Georgia all set to raise hell and walk out in either no shoes or a set of Vibram 5 fingers. I walked out with a pair of Nike "slightly structured" shoes to adjust a slightly out-of-kilter stride.
It's weird seeing yourself run from the thighs down. First, I looked like a complete lard ass. Second, my feet tend to fly out to the side before returning to orbit in front of me. And third, my right foot lands kind of strange, slight pronation but partially on the ball of my feet.
I've read Born to Run, obviously, and was pretty sold on the minimalist view of running skips, but seeing myself run lead me to think that I needed some 'structure' on me feet. We'll see. The Nike's do look really intimidating.
