Has anyone tried these shoes? I always have trouble finding running shoes with my odd feet so I decided to go the opposite direction and get shoes that would challenge my feet instead of over supporting them. It's an odd feeling, but you get used to them fairly quickly and they hardly weigh anything.

Looks like a shoe for 'challenged' people.

Are you actually running in these?

I'm always worried about not giving my knees enough cushioning support when running. I stick to asics.

First couple of steps I thought I was going to lose a knee, but the feeling didn't last long. I run on crappy sidewalks in the dark too, which doesn't help the situation

That's another thing I need. I have this pair of sandals I got off the interweb that everyone calls 'jesus shoes' but they suck for walking more than a couple of blocks at a time in and I walk 5 miles to and from work every day.

Nothing like challenging your feet. What is the issue with your feet anyhow? I've got wide-ass gunboats myself and I pronate like a sonofabitch...which means the only running shoes I own are New Balance.

My feet were curved inward when I was born and I had them in casts until I was three, so today instead of having feet that go slightly outward \ /, mine go | |

18 millions a year around his last years with the Bulls, I think...that's a lot of money.
