Vibrams freak me out. Not gonna lie!<br /><br />3. If I am having a tummy issue, yet I am hungry - mashed potatoes is my wonder cure. Not that it is a cure as much as it is comfort food!

When I first start...@Kurt- I rather agree with you. When I first started researching these shoes, it was solely because I was looking for the best neutral-based running shoe. My first pair of running shoes were Saucony and I really liked them, so I initially searched the Saucony line again. Asics had a really good neutral shoe I was looking into getting as well, but the reviews for Saucony were a little bit better (plus I already knew I liked the brand). <br /><br />When I pulled them up on the website the other night to do one last review, I noticed they were listed as minimalist. That threw me for a loop considering they do have a relatively thick sole on them, which I think automatically disqualifies them as minimalist.CupCake@ Bigger Girls Can Run Toohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17660640302611690348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2030582788342626775.post-29406268859902253592011-05-20T08:57:56.545-04:002011-05-20T08:57:56.545-04:00Here's a video going over a bit of why your sh...Here's a video going over a bit of why your shoes are considered "minimalist." <br /><br />http://www.saucony.com/store/SiteController/saucony/staticpage?content=Kinvara_saucony&CID=google_saucony_progrid_kinvara<br /><br />In my opinion, the term "minimalist" is becoming too wide a definition. I wouldn't consider these minimalist shoes from the way they describe them. I think too many companies are trying to capitalize on the booming "minimalist" running boom.Kurt @ Becoming An Ironmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865313303891773591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2030582788342626775.post-33795184197245913452011-05-19T12:16:18.342-04:002011-05-19T12:16:18.342-04:00I easily get upset stomachs because of GERD.

Mizuno Wave Creation 11's. But...I've been completely fascinated with the vibram five fingers! I tried on a pair one day, and now I'm even MORE interested. My PT about went through the roof when I mentioned possibly trying them for running though. :-)<br /><br />Minimalist shoes opinion. I'd have to say, if you like them, then they're great. If you hate them, then they're not. Not everything works for everybody. :-)Nejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00982042722943000994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2030582788342626775.post-51151396044105709322011-05-17T22:59:16.573-04:002011-05-17T22:59:16.573-04:00Super cute shoes!

HA! Seriously girl, I want to hear all about your shoes and if they help your supinating!!!!!<br />The pink whirly bondi band is rockstar CUTE! I'm ordering one right now!<br />I think you might consider keeping a food/drink diary on days when you run so you might be able to identify trends in what or how much you eat/drink prior to your runs. Just a suggestion. Also, I'm not like a lot of people, but I've been known to take some meds pre-emptively either tums or immodium depending on what your upset stomach causes. Good luck!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15432550406970940247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2030582788342626775.post-64526333959948566392011-05-17T21:25:51.529-04:002011-05-17T21:25:51.529-04:001.Those shoes are super cute.

They are black and pink too. Expect a blog post from me soon on those, ranting on the cost and the coolnees of them.<br /><br />2. I am not down with the minimalist shoes. The Prophecy is the anti minimalist at its best. It is actually the heaviest shoe that my local running store sells. As a former gymnast, I have an rather large amount of scar tissue in both of my ankles and have done extensive therapy on them. I should do it every day but don't. I would need to do it everyday if I wore a minimalist shoe. If I wear a nice sturdy, "Range Rover" type shoe, it allows me to be lazy on my ankle strength and focus on being fast and gain more endurance. That is just me though. As I get older, my shoes get squishier and squishier, and that is the way I like it! (I do ice my ankles everyday). I did try on some 5 fingers today, and they actually do not come small enough for me. My reeboks are a bit lighter than I am used to (I got them for free), and I did just fine in them. They are gore tex, so I just use them for the winter b/c they get hot.<br /><br />3. You could try to reduce the amount of fiber you eat close to a run. You want high fiber in your diet, just not right before a run. Also, you might want to try reducing your gluten intake. Gluten can be known to irritate the stomach in SOME people, not all people. You sort of just need to experiment a bit. I can drink a glass of milk before a workout, but it makes my friend puke just thinking about it. Don't eat whole wheat flax seed brownies before a long run (like, the day BEFORE). That will give you a major upset stomach.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624297955496298110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2030582788342626775.post-47625195440186030112011-05-17T20:57:20.600-04:002011-05-17T20:57:20.600-04:00Cute shoes!!!
