Hi, I posted this on the birthday shoes forums as well, but here goes...
I'm from Canada, and the winters here--as pretty much the whole world knows--can get a bit chilly. I also do a fair number of outdoors activities in the winter, so I need my feet to stay warm. I took up barefoot running about 5 months ago, and have worn nothing but these Merrels since then
My question is, will these Keen boots which do have some arch support, wreck what I've build up in my feet through barefoot running? Will running regularly in my Merrells or barefoot counteract any damage done by these boots?
I'm very concerned about the effect of different types of shoes and whatnot on my body, especially any permanent damage that may be done.
Any input is appreciated!
