Running barefoot? Me? No way. But my good friend and running buddy Stephanie has started running in these wacky looking shoes called Vibram Five Fingers KSO. They are unlike any shoe I've seen. They're designed to simulate the benefits of running barefoot but with a little protection on the sole of your foot.
We met up in Long Beach for a run by the ocean on a gorgeous afternoon. She's a serious runner and does a much faster pace than I so it was fun to see her 5-toed shoe prints in the sandy spots as I trailed behind.
I took the opportunity to check out a new app for my phone call AudioBoo and interviewed Stephanie about her cool Vibram Five Fingers KSO shoes. It's just under 2 minutes.
Running barefoot is not a new phenomenon. When I was doing research I found info about barefoot running on a website that's been around since the olden days of the Web...1997!
Wow, those are neat! I haven't seen those before
but I bet they are perfect for running in sand.
