Zero Drop, Zero Problem
Typically, runners are told that they need a number of things to fix their injuries and make running more enjoyable. Whether that's a stability/neutral shoe, or an orthotic. Doctors, trainers and ill-informed running specialty stores will give loads of information to get you in what they believe is the "correction" your feet need. Then minimalist running came along. The hype first started in 2011 when Christopher McDougall's book, "Born to Run" hit the shelves. McDougall ventured into the Copper Canyons of Mexico and found the Tarahumara Indians, an indigenous tribe, that runs hundreds of miles, through the desert, hunting. All while barefoot or with some type of old tire strapped to their feet.
