I need the magic running shoe doctor to tell me what shoe would be perfect for my foot and gait but I don' t think the magic running shoe doctor exists. The new shoe I am considering isn't really a running shoe at all. It is the Vibram Five Finger Shoe.
I most likely would use them for shorter runs and wear a regular running shoe for longer runs. Who knows maybe that would change. My friend told me her friend ran a marathon in them and cut 30 minutes off their time. The shoe is supposed to make you feel like you are running bare foot, in a more natural gait, and help strengthen the muscles in the feet, ankles, shins, calves etc. Anyway if you want to read more about them google them. They are the Vibram Five Finger Footwear (also highlighted in the "Born to Run" book which I have not read yet)
