Running - shoes or shoeless?

I find running barefoot to be really unpleasant when playing wii fit. It also makes our wood floor creak more and it annoys my wife.

Do yourself a favor and get yourself some custom running shoes at NIKEiD. You can even use them when you are not jogging in place and looking at a tv screen.

Thanks for the info about ankle weights being bad for you. I'd not thought about how it might affect your movement.

Personally, when I run on the spot, I tend not land on my heels. The impact is absorbed by the front of the foot, so I don't tend to have a problem running bare foot.

But I think the best thing is to try and do whatever is most comfortable for you.

Oh, and I wish I had enough room for a treadmill

That would be great, going for a run around the island and being able to run properly.

I ran barefoot the first two weeks I had mine, and then my arches started to feel sore like they might tear. So now I use tennis shoes and it feels much better, I needed the added support.

Funny--there was a news story on Friday, Jan 29 that said a recent research study found that running barefoot is better, overall for your feet and your body. I personally can't stand to go barefoot--anywhere--except in water. If only I could stand it I might have more healthy, and happy, feet :lol:

When running, its more comfortable using shoes than in bare foot. Because wearing shoes serves protection from causing callus specially when you use to run in a rocky or cemented areas.

I started running without shoes, but I did not think it was wise, so now I run with the shoes. I usually do my first race after a brief warm up, then I can take my shoes off for the rest of my work out.

Why don't you think it wise to run without shoes?

Nice sharing.
I think you should do running with shoes because
when you ran without shoes then you can be injured.
But when you ran with shoes then you will feel very
comfortable.
