which kilkennys do you have?
regarding that peroneal tendonitis you mentioned, does that feel like the outside of your ankle is sprained or injured? If so, how'd you deal w/ it? did you continue to run? Shoes a factor?

The newest flats but I've had other ones as well. They haven't really changed much and that's a good thing.
i have the zoom streaks for road racing but they almost feel "too light" to train in. maybe it's just my perception having trained mostly in asics 2100s. when starting to train in flats are they supposed to feel "too light"?
massage out the peroneal tendon. massage all the way up and downthe side of your calf
will do... I have one of those "sticks" thanx
Brooks Beast
I used to like the Free 3.0s a lot but recently have decided even they have too much heel lift. I like the feel of them otherwise, so I'm thinking of having the heels ground down to the level of the forefoot (under the metatarsals). Nike really out to finally come out with a 2.0, 1.0, and even 0.0 if they want to give the barefoot/five-fingers crowd an alternative.
Right now I'm training in an old pair of Nike x-country racing flats, which have almost a negative heel lift. Little or no cushioning (I even remove the insole), but they feel damn good, even on the bike path. You want stability? It doesn't get any more stable than that.
any other suggestions?
How are adidas Supernova Light? Any adidas shoes good enough for minimalism?

Running has not really recovered since.
i totally disagree with this. shoe companies didn't ruin running. it was dumb people who forgot proper form and thought the shoes would absorb all the shock their legs should absorb and started heel striking with straight legs. people got lazy and forgot how to run and let the shoes do work they weren't supposed to do. sorry, but give me a shoe like the brooks ghost or asics cumulus any day, as long as you've got good form, you'll be way better off than you would be in the five fingers. you're spending just as much money either way, might as well not look like a freak.
my favorite shoe of all time! they stopped making them though :(
Onitsuka Tiger Tai Chi.
Bare feet. Cheap, resiliant, and no extra weight.
The Asics Hyperspeed 3 is pretty nice. It doesn't really matter what you use as long as it works for you.

I stand by my earlier statement. Nike has as much as admitted so.
I defy you to use consistently correct running form over an extended period using the Brooks Beast, Nike Shox, or Nike Air.
Maybe the minimalist shoes will give you proper running form without even having to think about it....did you consider that?
nike free everyday fairly cheap
Nice shoe, but very pricey.
I really like the Adizero RC. I have arch problems as well and it is very flexible.
I also like the Nike Free 3.0s, but wear mine without the insoles. Amazing how much more feel you get without the stock insoles. I highly recommend it.
Agree that the heel is too high on the 3.0s. Looking the next step without going to VFF.
