    So much for my New Balance trainers. I wish I hadn't thrown my old shoes out now, but I'm going to try running in sandals.

    I don't wear shoes when I hike, run or walk. I walk barefoot all the time. I LOVE it. :)))))) Happy happy feeling with my feet on Mother Earth. ----From the page: "At Stanford University, California, two sales representatives from Nike were watching the athletics team practise. Part of their job was to gather feedback from the company's sponsored runners about which shoes they preferred. Unfortunately, it was proving difficult that day as the runners all seemed to prefer... nothing. 'Didn't we send you enough shoes?' they asked head coach Vin Lananna.

    Runners wearing top-of-the-line trainers are 123 per cent more likely to get injured than runners in cheap ones.

    So, if running shoes don't make you go faster and don't stop you from getting hurt, then what, exactly, are you paying for? The answer, is to be injured.
