Some
of my friends and families sent me this article, cause they all know I ran in
VFF.
I don’t have much to said about the “scam” putting up by VFF, it was just
merely a slogan or marketing gimmick that we usually saw in many campaigns or
promotions. If VFF is guilty for this, then all other company that jump into
the barefoot bandwagon too are guilty. As runners, I only belief that running
is an activities that based on yourself (being your legs, foot, muscles, core and
others part of your bodies). And obviously, running should not be the type of shoes that you
are wearing. Most of my thoughts were described in this article here.
Have a
look, think and working on what you believed in.

While I don't wear VFF, I believe it does benefit some runners if not all.
ReplyDeleteSome people on FB complained about the high price, but with what you shared on your post on the mileage of your VFFs, I think it's a good investment.
I think more like the type of training you do in them. Did you see people heel striking when barefoot running? And I can still run comfortable with forefoot even I am in motion control shoes. The important thing is to train your running gait/style, not what type of shoes you are training with.
DeleteOf cause you will do better forefoot landing in down-to-ground racer or VFF.
I cannot wear my Asics Gel Kayano 19 and it makes me prone to injury but I don't go suing the company. hehehe
