Are Super Shoes Secretly Changing How You Run?
Personally, I only wear mine in races, which seems to be the best of both worlds, giving you a performance boost without causing long-term harm.
What do you wear outside of races? I have been a happy barefoot/minimalist runner for a long time so I've never really bothered to follow changes in mainstream running shoe technology. Recently I started learning a bit more about the "super shoes" after watching the World Championships (Bruce wouldn't STFU about them) and found it all pretty interesting.
For the last few years I've been wearing Asics Novablasts as my main shoe, and Tartheredge when doing interval workouts on track or packed dirt.
The Novablasts are about as far from barefoot as you can get. Really fat, cushiony shoe. Super comfy for very long distances. The Tartheredges are not a minimalist or barefoot shoe, but they're about as minimal as you can get without being that. Extremely light-weight, very little cushioning.
