New Shoes

With all the information about minimalistic running and racing flats that I’ve been bombarded with in recent months, it was only a matter of time before I bought in. I just bought this pair of Saucony Kinvaras.

My New Blue Saucony Kinvara's

I’ve been wearing them around the house for a little while. My first reaction is that they feel bizarre. My current running shoes and even my walking shoes I use for day-to-day travel have the typical 2.4cm raised heel. The lowered heel on these make me feel a little off balance, like I need to lean back a little to stay upright. I’ve noticed my shoulders and posture trying to adjust too.

Naturally, I’m not going to race in these for a while, but I’ll start incorporating them into my training.

I’ll post a review after I’ve put some miles on them.
