Over Engineered Foot Coffins
That's what the barefoot guys call modern running shoes. Every time I pick up my old Brooks Beasts I tend to agree. I will soon be posting a brief tale about my journey towards barefoot running. I say "towards" because I'm not a full barefoot guy. I don't want the bottoms of my feet to be filthy all the time.

Shoes
The best thing about running is that it doesn't require a lot of equipment. I love cycling but the prep work for just getting out the door is a pain. Getting flats is a pain. In running you just head out the door.
What you do need (most of the time) is shoes. I'm too much of a tender foot to go full barefoot but I am a minimalist runner. I use two different shoes styles most of the time. Vibrim Bikila LS and Merrell Trail Gloves. I prefer the FiveFingers but some long runs are tough in them. Plus one rock can ruin your day. Occasionally I use Nike Free when the balls of my feet are really sore.
