I have put in 15000 miles on probably about 30 pairs of Nike Free running shoes over the past seven years with great success. After the typical big shoe company constant changing of a product, I can no longer consider them good anymore. First it was the 5.0's, now they have ruined the 3.0's. Time to move on. I have probably about 500 miles or two months left to find an alternative. Please help with suggestions.
Barefoot. The manufacturer will not change the design of these. They're adaptive, self-repairing, and directly linked to your brain via millions of nerve endings built in to the material. They are also waterproof, breathable, and ultra-light, with a built-in suspension and energy return system developed specifically for running. They've been tested for thousands of years over every kind of terrain that exists on this planet, natural and man made. In the worst case you may want to cover them with a few millimeter strip of flexible material. Also they are actually free.
