Shoes!

by blondtwin Email

Yep, I'm a girl. 

One of the guys I work with used these shoes to run in today:

I just love those! 

Remember a while back, when there were these runners that won a bunch of marathons barefoot?  These are supposed to be healthier for your feet and it keeps you from cutting up your feet on twigs and rocks, too!

I was thinking of getting them for my son, but I just might get a set for myself.

I just bought a pair while on vacation. They are great for everything except for when gravel gets kicked up on pavement. But then again, I am a tenderfoot, and never go anywhere barefoot. I am still breaking them in. Not the shoes, but breaking in my feet, to build up the tendons/muscles to the point where I can where them longer. I read the article in runners world talking about them. I am now a fan after wearing them. (they do look funny though)

And as far as size 13... they sold them in EU sizes, so for my US 13, that was about a size EU 45-46. I am not sure I would buy them for a growing young man, since they need to fit pretty exact to be comfortable, and he may outgrow them before they wear out. They also have several styles, and you really should try them on, to make sure you like it.
