My Forum

well my motto is take everything said about this area of running with a pinch of salt. I meant no offense to anyone.

All I would say is Im a midfoot striker but i dont think about technique I just run naturally, I know my heel kisses the ground as my foot flexes.

im guessing the OP is thinking about changing from heel striking to midfoot??

well it doesnt 'have' to if your being pedantic, but it is advised, otherwise u are putting a large strain on your calves as they are not allowed to rest. 

it should touch down a split second after your mid foot

take moving into minimalist shoes slowly it will be worth it in the end. I made the change 9 months ago and i feel far better than when  i ran in shoes. I run in luna sandals and vibram bilikas i find both are great. I wear injinji socks with both, great socks that wear well and dont cost the earth. I wear my vibrams and luna's all the time for running, tarmac and trail.

ive not heard of another edition so i should imagine it would just be the cover, i have the one with the yellow cover- if this helps at all! ??
