I’m a 59 yr. old woman who used to jog regularly until my knees began complaining. For the past ten years I’ve had a horrible time finding shoes that don’t injure my feet. I have scar tissue from micro tears in the planta fascia; I have a bunion on my left big toe, I have very high arches. I have been saying for years I wish a shoe company would make a shoe that feels the same as when I’m barefoot in my house - I never wear shoes in the house. When I’m barefoot is the only time my feet don’t hurt. It never occurred to me to try wearing my pool shoes to walk in. I tried it out this morning on the elyptical machine (where my feet always go to sleep with shoes on) and I was amazed at how comfortable I was! As soon as the snow melts I plan to walk in them. I was tempted to go for the Nike Free or the Vibram funny shoes, but think I’ll save my $$.
You don’t have to remember to bring your shoes with you on a trip.
Nothing makes you feel younger than running barefoot in the rain!
