Hello all,

Glad to find a cool place on the web to talk minimal shoes. I first started running barefoot or barefootish about 3 years ago. After dealing with a number of maladies of the feet and being prescribed orthotics, the thought occurred to me that maybe it was weak feet. I set about to strengthen my feet.

The rest is history.

I currently run in minimal shoes because I like the protection offered by a layer of rubber or leather. I've made several pair of moccasins that I use for running. Why buy five-fingers when sub $20 mocs will do?

Thanks for a great site! I can't wait to dig in and read more!

Cheers,

Mark H

Thanks Mark! Glad you like the site. I went down the orthotic path many years ago as well. I never looked back after switching to minimalist.
