Been visiting the
FIMBY
site...(check out sidebar)...
where curiosity was piquing
in regards to
barefoot/minimalist footwear
approach to life and fitness
Shopping with sisters
yesterday
landed me at The Shoe Dept.
where I found these babies.
Took them out for a
test drive
early this morning
(thanks, Susie)
following a bit of online
tester reviews
which recommended
wearing socks for awhile
Felt good.
Felt free.
Felt like a walking nerdista
since I was so geeked-up
about their maiden voyage.
Followed tips.
Yep...these shoes come with training tips
since many aren't used to
the natural movement of the
foot as one walks.
Found my Bareform*
*aligned posture
*balanced mid-foot landing
with soft knees
*faster, shorter strides
with a cadence of 180 steps/ minute
(for runners).
I walked.
Follow those stickers...
all the way down to
$34.98.
A price that had me
at hello.
For some a grace period
is recommended...
giving your body time to adjust to
the strengthening of
unused muscles.
I went for my usual trek without
any unwanted
side effects.
Could have something to do with
the fact that
after about 5 seconds home
they were off and I was
barefoot watering and weeding
and strolling around my
gardens.
I will keep you posted on this newest
purchase of mine and
give you a final report card
at the end
(dare I say it!)
of Summer.
Don't foresee any
problems
since it's walking...
as nature intended.
(Thanks, Renee&Damien@ FIMBY)
So glad you're enjoying your new shoes and at a good price too!
