QUOTEOriginally posted by moosie65:
what should I look for in trail vs road shoes (and should I post this in a different area 
)moosie - for sure post on the ultra board but describe the kind of trail (single-file, twisting, etc.), terrain (flat, steep/mountainous, etc.) and running surfaces (packed dirt, rocky, gravel, etc.).
In the meantime, good trail shoes have very thin soles to allow almost instantaneous proprioreception and recovery from possible twisting, slippage, etc. Cushiony heels are vebotem. Check with Barefoot Rick re perfectly instantaneous proprioreception and virtually injury-free running.
Incidentally, are you running to stay in shape for skiing or anything like that?
do you like moose too? don't let Spareribs see your prophile foto; he might get eaten.
Rick - I'll be thinking of your soles during my three laps around Lake Young in thongs, aquasocks, and jika-tabi. I'll be able to take 'em all off for a couple of miles too.
{{{rick's soles
}}} - good luck.
thongaposie - uhm, .. . could you be in charge of accommodations and activities for this year's Seattle Pink Door Festival and Marathon?
holly - please call up the police/animal shelter and ask what you should do. It's not about you, it's about the little kid who might have been killed.
