The Nike Air Max 90 EM Femme recent research paper ¡°The effect of three different levels of footwear stability on pain outcomes in women runners: a randomised control trial¡± from the British Journal of Sports Medicine has caused a lot of buzz in the minimalist running community. The study used a static foot measurement method to determine degree of over-pronation in individual runners (Foot Posture Index in this case), and then assign neutral, stability and motion control shoes at random within each group to see if shoe type influenced injury susceptibility. It turned out that it did not work at all ¨C motion control shoes fared poorly all around, neutral runners did better in stability shoes, and pronators did better in neutral shoes. However, the study lacks important information. We don¡¯t know how good the static Foot Posture Index measure actually is at predicting pronation in these runners, so the result could have been vastly different if a dynamic method like videotaping runners on a treadmill was used instead. We simply don¡¯t know what actual pronation was like in the shoes. In other words, the study could have just as easily demonstrated that Foot Nike Air Max 90 EM Femme Posture Index is a bad way to assign shoes. Many have the gut feeling that it would not have been any different with a dynamic measurement method, but I personally do not dare to guess.

I¡¯m not a high-mileage trail runner, but I do manage to get off road on occasion. Most of the trails I run require some road running to access them, so versatility is desirable in a trail shoe for me. The following are the trail shoes I recommend:

Overall, I¡¯d probably say that I prefer the upper and fit of Launch v2. It offers just a tad more wiggle room up front, fewer stitches, and an overall softer feel.

Skechers has a huge challenge ahead in trying to break into the performance running market, and the Go Run appears to be their first big step ¨C it will be more than interesting to see how it is received. This shoe reminded me that keeping an open mind is a good thing, and sometimes trying something that you don¡¯t think you will like can result in a pleasant surprise (boy do I sound like a parent). Oh, and my butt is more toned than ever (sorry, couldn¡¯t resist, and needed to head off the inevitable commentary)!

So, with this as an introduction, let¡¯s get to the list of shoes that you might want to explore if your goal is to experiment with ¡°less shoe.¡± A lot has happened in the footwear world since I originally wrote this post two years ago. Back in 2010 I was able to include just about every shoe that could be classified as even semi-minimalist into this post, but offerings have exploded and keepin Cheap Nike Air Max Trainers g up with them all is now next to impossible. As such, I have updated this guide in 2012 to provide my top recommended choices in several different categories. Thus, all of the shoes listed below are shoes that I have personally run in, and links to my reviews are included where available (some may be still in progress). My intention is that this will continue to be a ¡°post in progress,¡± and I plan to update it as I find new recommended models in each category ¨C please contact m Nike Air Max Trainers Sale e or leave a comment if you have something to add.
