Soft Star Moc3 RunAmoc Review
Sandals, socks, and toe shoes are just some of the types of footwear I never thought I would go running in prior to our introduction to minimalist shoes (not to mention going completely barefoot).

The Vibram Transition: Chapter 8 – Bone Marrow Edema & the Minimalist Transition
Recently, one of our writers, Jason, forwarded me a story he found on Runner’s World regarding a study by Sarah Ridge et al. that was published in February 2013 in the medical journal, Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise. The study is titled Foot Bone Marrow Edema after 10-week Transition to Minimalist Running Shoes. Simply put, the study examines injury rates in … Read More
