October 19, 2012There is a lot going on about the benefits of barefoot or minimalist running with no really science or evidence to support it. There are just lots of claims and counterclaims and lots of lot head with anonymous forum and blog comments! Simply there is no evidence one way or another on the best way to run. While all this has been going on for a few years, a maximalist running shoe, the Hoka One One has been making inroads into the market and runners a loving them. Pretty much all runner who try the Hoka One One’s love them! They are from France and the really are the antithesis of the trend to minimalist running. My take on all this is that it does not matter what you run it, it comes down to what you like the feel of under your feet. With a minimalist running shoe, you can feel the road and ground and with a maximalist running shoe like the Hoka One Ones, you get the feeling of a lot of cushioning.
