I just bought a pair of Nike Frees and i'm wondering if its okay if i walk in it... I've been injured and i've been resting for 3 to 4 weeks now... and i just want to know if i could just walk as in walking in the hall way to class (i'm a freshman in high school by the way) and such. It wouldn't make it worst would it? Because i'm not running and putting so much pressures on my knees...
The fact that the Free's have about 4mm less drop from heel to toe than your normal shoes will put less pressure on your knee than normal shoes would.
4 mm?
most running shoes have 12mm forefoots and 24mm heels (12mm of drop) -- the Frees have a 12mm forefoot and a 20mm heel (8mm of drop).
yeah - he knows his stuff
what do you mean as in mm? milimeter...? sorry... :\
yes -- everyone's metric
Ok so its fine right just walking in them? sorry and thanks.
sure -- it will allow you more range of motion and muscle utilization than regular shoes. Walking around is especially good if you are just getting into something. I'm convinced that walking around everywhere in my H Streets for months not only prepared me to run in them, but helped stretch out my achilles and avoid injury.
thanks trackhead, got email that sometimes i can email when i need an answer to others questions? thanks for the reply.
I would watch out for cars, though.
