best running shoes like barefoot image
Q. I just got the reebok flex running shoe today and I love it. It's like running barefoot. I was able to run about 2 miles more than I usually do. I was just wondering if they have anythng like that for basketball because I feel like it would really improve my game. I sa an interview with errick Rose and he was talking about these new Adidas that he wears that are also supposed to be pretty light weight. Anyone know anything about those?
Answer
The adiZero Rose (1, and 1.5) are barefoot style shoes, they use a different basic form though(the ReeFlex uses a very modern barefoot setup, where the Rose uses the more classic golden-traingle(creating a tripod, everywhere through step, to stay balanced at all times).
The Rose shoes are around 13-14 ounces, so that's really good for basketball, and they also use a Track-Spike style heel-frame, creating a very explosive movement oriented shoe, with barefoot maneuverability.
They're great shoes.

Is treadmilling considered a cardio exercise? Do you have to wear running shoes on a treadmill?
Big A
1) Is treadmilling considered a cardio exercise, good for weight-loss from head to toe? Or does is just build leg muscle
2) Do you have to wear running shoes on a treadmill? Or are running with bare feet/shoes better for your posture?
Answer
I've rarely used a treadmill, preferring to go outside when I have to exercise, but I'd think that walking or running on a treadmill will help your general condition, just like walking or running outdoors would.
And it's much better for your feet to exercise barefoot! 'Support' is deceptive and can even be the CAUSE of injuries. Because you lack feedback from the ground you may keep going past your limit, causing stress injuries, and because the sole increases the lever angle you're increasing the risk of ankle injury.
From Steven E. Robbins and Adel M. Hanna. "Running-related injury prevention through barefoot adaptations," Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 19(2), 1987, pp. 148-156.
A number of reports indicate an extremely low running-related injury frequency in barefoot populations in contrast to reports about shod populations.
[...]
To explain this paradox, the authors hypothesized that there exist adaptations associated with barefoot activity that provide impact absorption and protection against running-related injuries. An adaptation involving foot arch deflection on loading is hypothesized to be an important adaptation providing impact absorption. In contrast, it is hypothesized that the known rigidity of the shod foot may explain the reported high injury frequency in North American runners.
...
The modern running shoe and footwear in general have successfully diminished sensory feedback without diminishing the injury inducing impact, a dangerous situation.
And Steven E. Robbins and Gerard J. Gouw. "Athletic Footwear and Chronic Overloading," Sports Medicine, 9(2), 1990, pp. 76-85.
Some authors have concluded that chronic overloading with locomotion is inevitable in modern man because of inherent lower extremity fragility. Accordingly, footwear, such as running shoes, which attempt to attenuate shock waves through interposition of yielding layers between the plantar surface and ground, are presumed essential for safe running, and are also promoted for use during walking. However, this supposition seems inconsistent with reports indicating that habitually unshod humans are not subject to chronic overloading during running. By taking this into account, the lower extremity must be inherently durable, and chronic overloading must be a consequence of wearing footwear, and probably due to increased shock with their use.
[...]
The lower extremity is inherently durable, and, when unencumbered by footwear, it can endure running without signs of chronic overloading, because a vigilant system restrains shock. The use of modern athletic footwear, in addition to being inferior to older footwear in moderating shock during running, renders the lower extremity susceptible to injury because of design flaws introduced by the preoccupation with optimization of plantar comfort.
...
The obvious solution to the problem of chronic overloading in shod runners is to promote barefoot running.
And Steven E. Robbins, Adel M. Hanna, and Gerard J. Gouw. "Overload protection: avoidance response to heavy plantar surface loading," Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 20(1), 1988, pp. 85-92.
...the paradoxical low incidence of similar injuries reported in barefoot populations implies that modern footwear may produce injuries that normally would not be present without their use.
Also a survey among barefoot rikshaw coolies, who run barefoot on pavement all day long, showed none of these stress injuries, after the first period of adjustment:
"One hundred and eighteen of those interviewed were rickshaw coolies. Because these men spend very long hours each day on cobblestone or other hard roads pulling their passengers at a run it was of particular interest to survey them. If anything, their feet were more perfect than the others. All of them, however, gave a history of much pain and swelling of the foot and ankle during the first few days of work as a rickshaw puller. But after either a rest of two days or a week's more work on their feet, the pain and swelling passed away and never returned again. There is no occupation more strenuous for the feet than trotting a rickshaw on hard pavement for many hours each day yet these men do it without pain or pathology."
