Good to hear your pain has subsided. Definitely give Minimal or even barefoot a try in the Spring, but take it slowly. The main thing is a good form.  Glad this post is helpful!

It's really easy to do too much too soon when trying VFFs and running without shoes altogether. Sorry to hear you got hurt. There are different Nike Frees. Their numbers correspond to the spectrum from barefoot, 0 or 1, to, well, huge ass shoes, a 10. If the 3s are too little, try the 5s. However, I would encourage you to run a little bit without any shoes on a hard surface (20 feet to start with, then ramp up slowly). This will help you learn what your form should be like naturally yet won't tax your calves or feet. Unfortunately I haven't tried any of the Brooks. Try a bunch and see what works for you. Just consider overall weight and how much arch support and heel there is - you don't want too much of that, even when transitioning. Best of luck! Thanks.

Got a question for you. I used to run in Asics 2130s. After reading Born to Run, I tried Vibrams, did too much too soon, and got hurt. Now I'm looking to move to something more reduced than the 2100 series but more than a VFF (for now). I love the idea of minimal running but want to start with something that I will not get hurt in even running my normal milage (~45 mpw). I have the free run+, and I like it. But do I still have to transition slowly in to that, or can I run normal milage right off the bat? And add the Brooks launch to the mix - how does it compare to the free run+ in terms of "reduction"? Thanks much! Clynton,
