  1. Thanks again for the response. I live in North America. With winter starting, barefoot running would be an issue. Can I sprint train on regular running shoes? Any other alternative? After doing the recommended exercise just a couple of times, I am more aware of the placement of my foot. When doing my regular body stretches, I try to tilt my feet outwards a little so that the weight is distributed in the outer edge and small toes more than the arch(flat). Not sure if this is good or bad.
  2. Thanks Kit for responding. I'll follow the exercise for a month as you suggested. I am running at a pace between 13-15 minutes per mile. Therefore around 4 miles for that one hour. I walk for 30-45 minutes at a brisk pace around 18-19" per mile before I start running. I generally cover 6-7 miles in a session. But until recently, I was walking for around 4 miles daily - no running.
  3. @Kit_L Not sure if this has been answered before, are minimalist shoes good for people with flat feet? I have flat feet(or pronated ankle) since childhood. Off late, I have been experiencing pain on the arch after an hour of running. I am currently using an arch supported shoe (New Balance 690 I believe). 30 minutes of foot massage seem to ease the pain. However the pain immediately after the run is pretty bad and it seems my arch is getting fatigued. I also experience sharp momentary pain on my arch when I do certain stretches where I have to get on the ball/pad of the feet. I have used minimalist shoes in the past without any pain. But then at that point I never had any foot issues too. Now I want to give them a try. But just wanted to check and see if you have any thoughts about them. Thanks again for your work!
