^Of course "its no where near being barefoot".
You're wearing a shoe.

I actually read about these guys a few months ago. I think the article actually said something to the effect of 'Usually the only time other marathoners pass them is when they stop to have a smoke.' Too funny.

I have plantar fasciitis, and the correct running shoes help my feet. I don't go expensive, but I avoid the cheep ones. Before running, get fitted at a local running shop. It's free and your feet will thank you.
I got 650 miles in my current shoes.

check out Nike Free's they emulate running barefoot and if you don't have 20+ years of calluses on your feet your feet will thank you.

fooler2,
I've wanted to check out those Nike Frees ever since i saw them a few years ago and was told they were more of a training shoe. I wear Air Max running shoes at the gym, but have wanted something more flexible and lightweight instead of a semi-stiff soled running shoe.
Have you ever used them? Would they be a good gym shoe?

I used those for almost year, strictly for running, they are incredibly comfortable, yes, super light, yes.But its no where near being barefoot.
I agree, most of the shoes on the market are waaaay over priced, and its all marketing, just wait 1 year and see them devaluate more than computers, its all looks really.
I dont think I can do 60min run barefoot, but I once saw a guy on running the opposite direction, he was barefoot, and running way faster than I was, on the sidewalk. pretty nuts
