Yeah, any minimalist running shoe will cause that, because they're built to not have a heel rise, which just about all shoes do in some form... So yeah, the calves get used in ways they've never been used before, and they let you know about it...

Correction: They get used in ways they evolved to be used.

Then we came along and were all, here, let's design shoes that force you to run differently, then sell orthopedic shoes to counteract the pain you get from wearing... our shoes!

Ran again, about the same distance. Not as much feet pain. Probably will be sore again.


Also had a break in the middle because I stopped an old stray dog from going into the street and walked around till I found her owner.

I feel like I would just stub my toes all the time if I wore those.

Do you regularly run your feet into things?

i know a few people that have seriously injured themselves running in those.
they say it changes your gait dramatically.

one will be sitting out the Boston Marathon for the first time in like 12 years.
blew out his calf.

i have a pair, they are comfortable but i use them for the beach and as slippers.
GREAT support for my messed up arches!

Not on purpose.
