The next time you are thinking about replacing your running shoes or if you’re buying your first pair, don’t get fixated on a brand.

Sure, if a previous shoe or brand has worked in the past than it is worth looking at, but too often I see runners incur new problems when they have just updated their shoe wear without knowing if there have been changes.

Last week I was fortunate enough to be invited to the Australian Sports Medicine Conference in Sanctuary Cove where some of  the most acclaimed international researchers were speaking. I learnt that barefoot running can now officially be classified as a ‘FAD.’ Historically it appears humans become obsessed with throwing away our shoes about every 30 years, with a predicted barefoot craze to occur again in the year 2035! The research just doesn’t back up any of hype that started this craze. BUT…the barefoot fad has changed running shoes for the better, with shoes now  lighter and more ..read more
