This sneaker requires me to walk and run in a whole new way.  I've had this sneaker for nearly a month and I'm still getting used to it.  Shoe manufacturers have conditioned us to walk on the heel to use their heel cushioned shoes.  Guess what - that ruins the back and the whole skeletal structure from the foot up!  Now I know why I've had so many neck problems in the past!  Years ago before this barefoot craze started, I was at a water park running around barefoot.  I noticed that I was pounding on my heels all the time.  It made my whole body ache - especially my neck area and base of my skull.  It felt unnatural to walk like that but I did anyway out of habit - I just couldn't help it.  Now I know that it was unnatural to walk like that and am doing something about it by wearing these shoes.  I have to retrain myself how to walk correctly on the balls of my feet so that the natural structure of my feet cushion the weight of my body as was intended.

These sneakers can get wet and then dry off nicely while still wearing them - sort of like water shoes.
