when my ft are cold, I like to pull my socks on like a fireman reaching for gear at a four-alarm-fire. No time for messing all over. I want my gloves and socks without complications.But these weren't socks. Before me were half socks, half water shoes.When I raised my eyes, sitting beside me was a woman listening to music on her iPod. She likely didn't want to be disturbed. But my curiosity got the finest of me. So, I tapped her on her shoulder to inquire about her odd footwear. What on earth were they? She laughed, and said they were her new running footwear.Running shoes? Did I hear her right? Were my ears waterlogged from swimming? Apparently not, as she went on to say she absolutely loved them simply because they made her run faster and they were healthier for her ft.Healthier?
As someone who specializes in health, my interest was peaked even extra now. I asked more questions. Her name was Vena Cook-Clark, age 27, and she'd been running like a hobby for 6 years.Originally, the unusual look and lightness of the shoes grabbed her attention. She read that barefoot running was greater for her alignment, and it was enough to make her plunk down the asking price of $100.00 to give them a attempt.When she brought them home, her husband joked they looked like she had "alien toes," but now, she exclaims he wants a pair also. I asked if they were troublesome to place on. She said it gets easier after the first number of times, and it's worth the trouble. She added, "It was awkward operating with them initially, but after about 2 weeks I got used to them and now want one other pair for hiking."She boasted about how uncomplicated it can be to toss them within the wash using the rest of her running or working out clothing.
