do you know if you can run on a treadmill with these trainers? are they just for walking?
Thanks!

hiya, yep ive got some! you can run in some - but not others! ive got ones you can run in, apparently the soles are the same, but the top is different and you need the support to be able to run! if you havent bought any already, please please please DO NOT buy them without getting them fitted!!! scholl sell them, but they do not know how to fit them! and all the prices are standard anyway! go to an MBT specialist! because they do not fit like regular shoes! plus they sole comes with 2 different types of pivot! they assess your feet and then tell you which will be the best pivot for your foot type and then in that range which you can run in! the fitter will first teach you to walk in them, (it feels very strange!) and once you get the hang of that, you can run!! its so bleeding complicated! but i tell you what, they are brilliant!! i do recommend them! but get em fitted! good luck and have fun! x

I don't have a pair of these shoes but, if they and the "Nike Free" are supposed to simulate being barefoot, why spend the money when you can simply do like many runners and other athletes (Zola Budd, Abebe Bikila, Charlie "doc" Robbine) and do your training in your actual bare feet. Nike got the go-ahead to develope their shoes after witnessing Stanfords Track team training barefoot. There are many studies showing all the diferent benifits of being barefoot.
