Runners Alley

Not a day goes by anymore that someone does not want to know how we, at Runner's Alley, feel about barefoot running and the Vibram Five Fingers. It is our opinion that barefoot running can be a great tool to enhance most anyone's training regimen if done correctly. Most of us are very used to wearing shoes that offer varying degrees of cushion and support, which means one should delve slowly into barefoot running. For 1-3 months, we recommend using your Vibrams on soft surfaces for short periods of time, 1-2 times a week, all the while paying attention to how your body responds.
