Are you following these two rules with your running shoes? You should be.

I got a new pair of shoes and when I first saw them…I was skeptical.

The toe box is wider than anything I had ever seen before. I have big feet to begin with, size 13, so when I put them on and looked down…

…ok maybe not that bad…

I couldn’t imagine running in these things, but I could imagine tripping over myself. Yet, they came highly recommend and have received great reviews. Needless to say, I’ve been running in them for a couple weeks now. And…..

I love them.

They are different than anything I’ve ever run in before. They have a zero drop cushion (the heel is not elevated) and the toe box is wider to give your foot enough room to “splay” naturally.

If you’ve ever wanted to try barefoot running but were too afraid because you might land on a nail or the thought of scrubbing the dirt off just grossed you out, these shoes are a good option for getting a similar experience.

These shoes came with a handy dandy “transition guide”, which was new to me. I have always bought new shoes, put the old ones in…
