I'm curious, can you speak more about "barefoot training". Is this just walking around barefoot more often, or is there more to it. also, do i need to buy foam rollers to go with this DVD you mention, or is that something different? Thanks. I learned a lot from your article here. I think I've screwed myself up wearing high heels over the years, I rarely do it anymore. Barbara pretty interesting article.

A lot of the styles are clunky and not what I consider current "fashion" at all. Crocs? God no *shudder* This is a shoe nightmare to me: http://www2.ecco.com/ss2007/Products/Womens/Casual.htm#articleid=16363&colourid=05202 I don't want that thing anywhere near my closet! I'm a bit snobby when it comes to fashion, so most people would probably be OK with the design of those shoes. For me to invest money in a shoe, it has to really turn me on. None of these really did. I like my shoes to be sexy... and if they are also comfortable, GREAT! I actually spend about 90% of my time barefoot, so the shoe issue isn't such an issue for me. I have under 11 pairs.

The Magnificent Mobility DVD is great for improving dynamic flexibility and joint mobility. You're basically teaching your boy how to move more effectively and efficiently, using full range of motion. It is an awesome DVD. Foam rolling can help work out areas of tension. And actually Eric Cressey and Mike Robertson wrote an article about foam rolling that you can read here: http://www.t-nation.com/readTopic.do?id=475832 You can also use a tennis ball or a myo release ball to get to the nooks and crannies that the foam roller can't reach. http://www.power-systems.com/nav/closeup.aspx?sc=112&c=109&g=3009 The way that it was described to me is that many people have areas of their body which they need to release tension from (through foam rolling, massage, shiatsu, active release technique, or other modalities) and areas which aren't working properly or at full range of motion, which the DVD will help with. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions! Leslie, I'm not a fan of Crocs either... and the link was atrocious!! But you don't like Danskos? I think they are hot as hell!!! http://www.dansko.com/ I AM curious which shoes you think look nice and are also comfortable, though! Thanks for reading! hi Barbara,
