Minimalist Running Shoes

[MellioM 116]

Any runners have experience with.them?

I've been having knee pain and thought I might try them out. I met a girl at a 5K a few months back that swore they stopped all her knee pain.

I have an appointment with an orthopedist next week but I really really really really don't want to stop running. As is I have been walking fast and doing a little slow jogging to avoid aggravating it further.

Im intrigued but in reality yoo afraid that they will cause injury and i wont be abe to run at all.

Ive been managing a knee issue with a foam roller and lots of stretching of hip nd buttock muscles.

I have new balance minimus runners and I love them.

BUT. You will likely want to start out walking in them, and move forward. IE keep running in your current runners, and walk on your off days to 1. break in the new ones 2. not kill your muscles

My legs/knees/ankles/feet liked the new shoes immediately, but i was sore after the first few runs. Now that I'm used to them though, my ankle and knee pain is literally nonexistant when I run, and afterwards as well.

I so need a pair! I'm tired of knee pain.
