my nearest decathlon store is a fiddlesticking treck. no easy feat on crutches. plus internet says that store doesn't stock kalenjis, and if they did they only go up to uk size 5.5!! surely the internet is broken? i know it's a little off topic, but anyone know anything about insoles? been thinking of gettin the nike darts and putting in an insole at least till i get better.
(insidentally, my flatmate said he saw a thing on TV of a new material NASA were using that you could drop a wine glass on from 3 stories and it stops dead without breaking. imagine insoles made of that! unfortunately it costs more than ten grand per metre.)

Woww, thats incredible to be honest though - would it be easy to do parkour with insole like them or not - as the shock absorbtion may ruin your flow? bit of topic sorry

train barefoot and complain less about trainers.

Barefoot training is all well and good, but a lot of people seem to enjoy breaking bottles, leaving needles, and allowing their dogs to foul wherever they like.
Anyway, kidkunjer: Tottenham Court Road → Northern Line → Waterloo → Jubilee Line → Canada Water. Decathlon is about 4 minutes walk or 10 minutes hobble from there, it's signposted. It had cheap Kalenjis in all sizes when I was there a couple of weeks ago, and plenty of other brands and styles if they don't float your boat.

Don't tread in:
Broken bottles, needles, dirt, broken rocks/concrete.
Problem solved.

I generally manage not to. I do enjoy going barefoot in summer. Unfortunately, not all my peers are as perceptive of their surroundings as I am, and not all go around barefoot anyway. Further discouragement is provided by the chavs of our fine city, who seem to take great pleasure in breaking bottles around some of our favourite training areas.

I believe barefoot is really the way forward for bigginers. One massive advantage to it is it stops them doing huge jumps and drops which they are never ready for. At least they will take things slow and they will learn to land properly.
