    Thanks for sharing. My mom was telling me about that Mexican tribe and the association of shoes with running injuries. I think it's an interesting area of research to explore. I can't wrap my head around running barefoot inner-city yet, though, even though I found a group nearby who do it every week.

    I highly recommend the book! It is so insightful and inspiring (whether or not you buy-in to the notion of barefoot running). If nothing else, the book motivates you to get out and run!

    This! I think you can pick heaps of holes in his theories but the author's excitement and enthusiasm for running was infectious, which made it a pleasure to read :) So many non-fiction books get kind of stale and dull but I zipped through this one in two days, which is almost unheard of, for me!
