Today I am going a few easy miles with Kasey Hill, a doctor in physical medicine and rehabilitation.

The “great running shoe debate” continues concerning whether or not running barefoot is better for you than running while wearing shoes.
To Shoe, Or Not To Shoe? That is the Question
I originally wrote this post back in 2013, and things really haven’t change much in the last 2.5 years.
A review published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine does little to help steer the shoe debate one way or the other.
The research fails to draw any definitive conclusions about the risks of running barefoot as opposed to running while wearing shoes.
However, many have hailed this review as a good starting point to begin taking a more evidenced based approach to answering the question, as opposed to the subjective running shoe debate that continues to be had between the two camps with little progress being made one way or the other. Read more
Just a quick post today letting yall in on a little secret I’ve been keeping for a few days.
I’ve been chosen to represent Altra Running for 2014 as one of their Altra Ambassadors. In case you missed one of my posts or tweets about how much I love their shoes since I made the switch to Altras a little over a year ago, don’t worry. I’ll be promoting them even more this year, but it’s really only because I love the shoes and I know they’ve worked wonders for me and my running.
Being an Ambassador is nice, but I’d still be trying to talk people into trying the shoes regardless. If you’re interested in more info, just let me know or check out their website.
And with a little luck, maybe FitNiche would allow a couple of pairs to be sold in the store? Is that asking too much?
Have You Ever Tried Altras, or Any Other Zero or Minimal Drop Shoe?
