Hi from Chicago

Hi all-

I have been running on and off most of my adult life. I gained A LOT of weight a few years back and wasn't doing much of anything. Stripped the weight off (over 60lbs) and have been running again since spring. My knees betray me often and as you can see-I found my way to bf running. I was told in the past to wear motion control shoes which I did. Out of curiousity I threw on an old pair of flat Adidas shoes I had(well, flatter than my Asics) and went for a run. OH MY GOD I never wanted to put those Asics on again.

Tried barefoot-never wanted to put the Adidas on again. I'm cycling through the Ascis, my Minimus trail and my good ol' two feet. Trying to be careful as I personify "too much too soon." It is with great sadness I reiterate I am in Chicago. The clock is ticking on my barefoot outside runs as we round fall :(

Thanks for having me here!

I'm from Chicago, too! I just bought a pair of NEOS Villagers to cover my minimal shoes. Google them... they might work for you! I have knee issues, too. :0) PL

Welcome laura, it is great to have you here! I live in a northern climate too (Canada)... don't worry you have options, and they are getting better every day :-)
