  • I work from home so I spend most of my time barefoot. Shoes always felt wrong in some way. Arch support felt like it was in the wrong place, too narrow, or other problems depending on the shoe I tried. Even Altras were just not quite right. I got some Merrell vapor gloves. They’re zero drop and extremely thin (6mm stack height). Because of this, you have to run a little differently than you would in a traditional shoe, mainly just avoiding heel striking and paying more attention to what you’re stepping on.

    I’m taking it slow so I don’t end up getting injured, but I still managed seven miles total in the first week with the new shoes.
