Running shoes

Another bandwagon.  It's a technology issue.  For too long, shoes have been made in ways that don't recognize how the human foot was made to work.  Yet the fact that REI and gearheads are all about the vibram five fingers and these type of minimalist shoes has left me feeling curmudgeonly, despite the fact my partner in knee crimes has been running barefoot for years now. 

It took the giddiness of Wiscon weekend and a sale to make me buy these at the running  expo.  And yes, they do make my cranky feet happy.  Why did they make so many shoes with complete disregard for foot mechanics? ... Oh.  Yeah.
