If you’re just tuning in, here’s day 1
So, day 2 of my Vibram FiveFingers shoes. I’m surprised that my feet aren’t more sore. It’s not to say that they aren’t sore, but after a couple of reviews I read, I was expecting worse. Today I really started noticing how much I’d grown accustom to a heel-toe, duck-foot stomp. I guess having a big cushion on your heel makes one not reallize how jarring it is. I’d read that your gait/stride would change over the first week. I’ve noticed in the first day.
It was a pretty hellish day at work, and my only reprieve was a lunchtime walk from work around Santa Fe’s plaza. It was just over a mile, but I figured that I’d rather not push it and be crawling back if something “happened”. No such worries. If I get the chance tomorrow (and my shin splints are gone), I might try to jog tomorrow.
Oh, and I’m still refining my “what are those and why are you wearing them?” speech. Good thing; based on the number of people asking about them, I’ll need it.
