Just read a great article by Katie Arnold over on Outside Online on a topic that I feel very strongly about. The article, titled “Mini Minimalists: Are Barefoot Shoes Good for Kids?”, addresses whether minimalist/barefoot-style shoes are appropriate for kids.

Nike SMS Roadrunner: A Toddler Shoe with a Flat, Flexible Sole
April 2, 2012 By 25 Comments
Today is my son Benjamin’s second birthday. As a full-blown toddler, he’s going through a period of remarkable transition – he’s learning to run, talk, joke, express displeasure, and to use the word “mine” about 100 times per day. As a parent who has a fascination with footwear, this is a particularly difficult time as […]

ASICS versus Zero Drop, Maximalist versus Minimalist
June 4, 2011 By 114 Comments
I’ve been following with interest a spirited debate that is taking place over on my friend Bill Katovsky’s Zero Drop blog.

Unfortunately, running doesn’t do much for building upper body strength, and my legs are in far better shape than the rest of my body as a result. One of the resolutions/goals I’ve set for myself this winter is […]
