]]> Comment on A 100-Day Walking Trip by Susan Greene http://walkingtheworld.com/blog/a-100-day-walking-trip#comment-4889 Susan Greene Tue, 10 Jan 2012 22:58:11 +0000 http://walkingtheworld.com/blog/?p=1103#comment-4889 Ward, I enjoyed your post. I'm a walker too. Even though I go to the gym in the mornings, I try to set aside a half hour at the end of nearly every day for a walk. It gets me away from my PC and out into the fresh air. As you said, "Walking is good for the soul." Ward,

Switching to the five-finger footwear should be a gradual process over a period of time. We are not used to going barefoot and it takes a while for our bodies to adjust. Hiking in some of the environments we encounter would take more consideration since five-finger footwear doesn't really protect the toes. So right now I suggest staying with the hiking boots/shoes we recommend in our equipment lists. I would start wearing the five-fingers around the house and neighborhood until you feel the muscles in your feet and legs start to strengthen and then start considering longer and more rugged areas. I loved the book Born to Run and I think the philosophy is excellent. Reserach does show that most of our foot and leg injuries come from the cusioned heels most new shoes have. In any case, GOOD WALKING! Ward Luthi Walking The World Hi Marie,

But does it mean we should bite the bullet and wear these thin shoes on our hiking trips? Would a good sneaker be sufficient? This sounds sound.

They're made from stainless steel and can withstand a lot of punishment. I highly recommend that you try them. I've used them on almost every surface doing every active thing I could imagine and they WORK! Let me know how you do. My best, Ward Hi David,
