Die Geschichte der Barfußschuhe in Deutschland

In this episode of the FitMIND FitBODY podcast, I chat with David Theriot, an extraordinary runner with a passion for ultra-endurance events. David shares his journey from growing up in South Louisiana to becoming a dedicated runner and how running has shaped his life. David talks about his childhood, filled with hunting, fishing, and outdoor activities, and how he found his way into running through wrestling and jiu-jitsu. Despite running initially being a punishment during his wrestling training, David eventually fell in love with the sport. One of the highlights of David's story is his journey to running ultra-endurance races. He shares his experience of running his first marathon in Vibram FiveFingers after recovering from an ACL reconstruction and how he gradually transitioned to trail running and ultra-marathons. David also discusses his experience with injuries, including multiple knee surgeries, and how he managed to stay active and motivated during recovery periods. His story is a testament to resilience, determination, and the joy of pushing personal limits. David is also the host of the podcast “Run the Riot,” where he talks about running, interviews other runners, and shares motivational stories. Additionally, he is a running coach, helping others achieve their running goals and find joy in the sport.

Robert Fliri, an Italian designer and innovator in footwear design, shares his journey of reconnecting with nature and developing the concept of natural footwear. He grew up in the mountains, surrounded by nature, and was always drawn to technology and mechanical engineering. However, he felt a disconnect when he entered the world of design and decided to create a footwear prototype that would allow him to feel the ground like he was barefoot but with protection. This led to the development of Vibram FiveFingers, a glove-like shoe that revolutionized the way people think about footwear. The conversation explores the journey of Vibram's FiveFingers shoes and the natural foot movement. Robert Fliri, a product developer at Vibram, discusses the importance of finding balance in movement and not pushing oneself beyond their limits. He emphasizes the idea of using footwear as tools to extend human capabilities, but also recognizes the value of the human foot as the perfect tool for running and walking. The conversation delves into the initial response to FiveFingers, the challenges faced in bringing the product to market, and the controversy surrounding the health benefits of the shoe. It also touches on the need for proper education and a gradual transition when adopting a natural footwear approach. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the future of the natural foot movement and the potential for wider public adoption.

Henrik har stukket hjemmefra, men ikke verre enn at han har ringt opp sjefen på Teams. Frank Fiske har et langt liv i løpeskoens tjeneste (red.anm. - fritt oversatt fra joggesko) som gir grobunn for mange historier, og Tor slenger seg gjerne på. Frank kan skilte med et par knipper NM-medaljer fra friidrettskarrien, er glad i små og store duppeditter, samt innehaver av en vinnerskalle og derav kronen på Löplabbets Stravasegment på Jevnaker - til Henriks irritasjon. Etter å ha marinert spørsmålet om favorittsko er svaret klart. Valget blir et testpar av Vibram FiveFingers, med en løpsopplevelse som ingen andre sko har gitt siden. Mimring til side, Frank har vært på tur med Brooks i Barcelona og løpt halvmaraton på 1.29.52 med Brooks Hyperion Max på beina, fått innsikt i kommende lanseringer og gleder seg over Brooks Glycerin GTS 21, en suveren løpesko til hverdager flest med myk sålebase. En glemt perle, mener Tor.

Chiacchierata con Sergio Rossato e Filippo Toschi.

Butikksjef på Löplabbet Trondheim, Ronny Ingebrigtsen, har sittet i studio en ukes tid og ventet på å være gjest i ny episode av Løpeskopodden. Som så mange andre var det langrenn som opptok ungdomstiden aller mest, men på sommeren ble guttegjengen dratt rundt på de populære gateløpene av en ivrig trener. Ronny kan dessuten skryte på seg å ha startet i løpeskobransjen før sjefen sjøl, da han som 16-åring i 1989 begynte å jobbe på Joggen i Drammen hvor Reebok var et sterkt varemerke med sin Hexalite i sålen og New Balance briljerte med sin treningssko i skinn, 1500. Mest av alt ble det solgt Asics Gel 120 i bøtter og spann, mens de raskeste løperne gikk for Asics Gel-Lyte. Som fysio-student i Molde ble han lurt med i Fræna Friidrettsklubb og ble introdusert til baneløping som ga mersmak. I 1999 kom tilbudet om å bli butikksjef på Löplabbet Trondheim og overgangen til Heimdal Friidrett var et faktum. Senere ble det noen år som fysioterapeut før han i 2006 vendte tilbake til Löplabbet og har siden,i tillegg til å være en viktig ressurs på skadeforebygging, vært nysgjerrig pånye tankesett som barfotløping med Vibram Fivefingers og maksimalistene fra Hoka. Tor bruker anledningen til å fortelle om den gangen de løp sammen i St. Olavsloppet, hvor først Ronny løp forbi han på den 11 km lange etappen, men i siste bakke kollapset Ronny og Tor vekslet først inne i stallen etter Stalltjernsgropa. Noe han til dags dato er ganske fornøyd med. Henrik mener Ronny muligens er allergisk mot hest. Med mange årringer i studio og Henrik som henter kunnskap der han kan, er det duket for en episode med mye mimring, gode historier, mindre gode ordspill og mengder av løpesko – noen man husker navnet på og andre ikke.

Con ellas empezó todo, allá por 2006, cuando el "loco" Ted Mc Donnald pidio a Marco Bramani, nieto del funddador de Vibram, que le dejara un par de sus flamantes zapatillas naúticas para correr la Maratón de Boston con ellas. Marc tuvo que pensarlo despacio, pero al final apostó por aquel atrevido. Ted corrió con ellas los 42,195km por el asfalto..y acabó. Con un tiempo digno de 3h20 tambien.

Vibram FiveFingers: Behind the Scenes   – The MOVEMENT Movement with Steven Sashen Episode 145 Tony Post.   Tony Post is the Founder and CEO of Topo Athletic, a footwear brand with a unique fit and feel that encourages instinctive and natural movement.  Competitor Magazine called Topo ‘a stunning modern take on minimalism.'  Topo has won many editor's choice awards from Runner's World, Outside, Women's Running, Health Magazine, National Geographic Adventure, and many more.  Most recently, Topo's new Trailventure boot received the REI Co-op Editors' Choice Award for 2021.    In July of 2013, Tony launched Topo following successful leadership roles at Vibram USA and The Rockport Company. During his 11 years as president and CEO of Vibram USA, Tony not only helped establish Vibram as a premium sole supplier to footwear brands around the country, he sparked the natural running movement with the introduction of Vibram FiveFingers®.  Time Magazine named Vibram FiveFingers one of the best health and wellness inventions of 2007, and Vibram was named the 2010 footwear Brand of the Year by Footwear News.  Under Tony's leadership, the outdoor retailer REI selected Vibram as their ‘brand partner of the year' in both 2010 and 2011, distinguishing Vibram among more than 1,300 brands.   Listen to this episode of The MOVEMENT Movement with Tony Post who gives a behind the scenes look of Vibram FiveFingers.   Here are some of the beneficial topics covered on this week's show: - Why being required to wear shoes at the gym is ridiculous. - How regular running shoes can deteriorate your form and posture. - How shoes that support natural movement decrease pain and help people run longer. - Why it's about using the correct form and not about the footwear. - How traditional shoes cause muscle atrophy in people's feet.   Connect with Tony: Guest Contact Info: Twitter @TonyPostTopo Instagram@mistatopo Facebookfacebook.com/TopoAthletic LinkedIn Linkedin.com/in/tony-post-a5b0966 Connect with Steven: Website Xeroshoes.com Jointhemovementmovement.com Twitter@XeroShoes Instagram@xeroshoes Facebookfacebook.com/xeroshoes  

Hvem trenger innleggssåler og hva kan en såle bidra med? Og kan en innleggssåle redde et mislykket løpesko-kjøp? Det er spørsmål som blir tatt opp i Løpeskopodden denne uka. Med seg i studio har derfor Henrik og Tor tatt med seg fysioterapeut, butikk- og sålesjef på Löplabbet Trondheim, Ronny Ingebrigtsen. Han er litt over gjennomsnittet nysgjerrig på nye tankesett og har, som eneste Löplabber, gjennomført halvmaraton under 1.15 med Vibram Fivefingers på føttene. I etterpåklokskapens navn har trening med barfotsko over flere år muligens resultert i litt kranglete legger. Tor på sin side er strålende fornøyd med sine legger og skylder på genene. Fra en klassiker til en annen – om Ronny skal presentere en gammel kjenning fra egen skopark er det Saucony Kilkenny XC Flat som trekkes opp av hatten. En terrengsko med lite mønster som egnet seg best på tørre forhold, men som viste seg å være allsidig utenfor terrenget. Det blir også en kort statusrapport på maratonforberedelsene til Henrik. Etter helgens testrun på mølle konkluderes det med at klesvalget ikke er tatt, men kan det helle mot Nike Air Zoom Alphafly Next% 2 som løpesko? Tor har også blitt inspirert av all praten om Alphafly og har børstet støv av sine i første versjon.

Marcher, courir, sprinter. Tout ça les pieds bien attachés dans nos chaussures modernes. Jusqu'à ce que les douleurs s'installent et les blessures deviennent une sacré épine. Et si nous devions prendre à contre-pied cette démarche ? Et si nous ne devions pas plutôt apprendre à nous reconnecter à nos pieds ? Dans le deuxième épisode de ce podcast, Sylvain Griot, coureur passionné et traducteur du livre de Ken Bob Saxton “Courir Pieds Nus”, nous explique pourquoi notre époque moderne nous empêche de reprendre contrôle sur la santé de nos pieds. Au programme de cet épisode : chaussures minimalistes, études scientifiques sur le potentiel de nos pieds et prise de conscience de notre bien-être. Et tout est à prendre au pied de la lettre ! TIMELINE 00:00:35 : La découverte du minimalisme par l'histoire de Sylvain 00:05:20 : Les bénéfices de la marche pieds nus prouvés par la science 00:07:15 : Les problématiques des coureurs modernes 00:11:06 : Que prendre en compte lorsqu'on démarre pieds nus ? 00:19:30 : Pieds nus, un bien-être physique et mental 00:25:50 : Le problème des chaussures modernes et des chaussures minimalistes

1. Processed Food (Inflammation)When arthritis brought my whole life to a dead halt this spring, I decided to try a plant-based diet. The results were ridiculous. In about a month, I went from barely being able to walk to running a 60-second 400m (in barefoot shoes) and regularly crushing 20-minute 5Ks like they were casual jogs.I'm now 5'11" and 145 pounds, which would have felt wimpy to my 170-pound self, but accepting my body the way it is feels amazing.Here's the best part—fruits, veggies, and legumes are so low-fat, you can literally stuff your face all day long and not gain a single pound. If you keep lots of vegan munchies on hand, it's easy to resist junk food.Plus, plants are much cheaper than meat!Breakfast: steel-cut oats and half a banana (instead of cereal)Lunch: freeze canning jars of legumes/veggies (instead of takeout)Snacks: nuts and seeds (instead of chips and candy)Dinner: veggie stirfry, sweet potato stew, etc (instead of meat)Dessert: fresh fruit (instead of cookies and pastries)Rules: mostly plants, not too much, and organic (when possible)Further Reading: How Not to Die by Dr. Michael Greger2. Working Out (Injuries)Planet Fitness closed about two weeks after the Coronavirus pandemic started ramping up, which left me without a gym for the first time in ten years. Initially, I tried using free weights, but the pain that had been developing in my knees and hips just got worse.I could barely walk and I started to question whether I would ever be able to run again. As a last-ditch effort, I bought a book on bodyweight exercise. I didn't care for it, but the general idea was interesting.After some experimenting, I finally stopped taking other people's work out advice and stuck to natural balancing/flexing moves. That, plus switching to a vegan diet made my whole body leaner, meaner, and pain-free.It's also more fun and less hassle, overall.Gyms: cancel your membership, you don't need itWeights: throw them out and just use your bodyAdvice: ignore fitness advice and do what feels naturalFlexing: tense your muscles, aim to feel a “burn” (not pain)Balancing: do exercises on one leg to recruit more muscle groupsBending: avoid full extension, as it can stress your jointsCardio: running and hiking are better than static liftingFreedom: bodyweight exercises can be done whenever, whereverDIY: use benches, walls, and tree limbs to work different angles3. Medication (Allergies & Baldness)I started taking Zyrtec in middle school to treat my pollen and dust allergies. It became so automatic that I took it every day for fifteen years. After going plant-based, I decided to go medication-free.I thought my allergies would go nuts, but there was almost no difference. I also felt less drowsy and more focused during the day.The same is true for my other meds. Propecia made me depressed instead of stopping my hair loss. Nasal sprays gave me nosebleeds. Inhalers reduced my lung capacity. In every case, the side-effects of modern science were worse than the symptoms I was trying to alleviate.Allergies: wash/vacuum frequently and eat a vegan diet (inflammation)Hair Loss: just shave your head and grow a beardMental Health: minimalism, outdoor exercise, avoid TV and newsSleep: buy a hands-free book stand and read for 1–2 hours before bedEverything Else: some or all of the aboveFurther Reading: Lost Connections by Johann Hari4. Cushioned Shoes (Plantar Fasciitis)In 2017, I got a part-time job at a local running store. With the employee discount, I was able to score some of the best shoes in the world—from high-cushion Hokas to “zero-drop” Altras.The problem was, no matter how many brands I tried, I kept getting injured. Calf strain. Plantar fasciitis. Joint pain. Shin splints. Plus, the shoes would wear out in under three hundred miles (not bad at a 50% discount, but expensive for regular customers).Finally, I ordered a pair of Vibram FiveFingers (minimalist toe shoes). After switching to a “midfoot stride” and training nearly barefoot for three months, my injuries disappeared. I haven't had a single twinge for TWO YEARS, which is virtually unheard of in the running community.Bonus…at 2,000 miles, my Vivos and Vibrams both feel brand new.Cushion: throw your cushioned running shoes in the garbageBarefoot: practice running barefoot around a local turf or grass fieldStride: use a midfoot stride (it's impossible to heel-strike barefoot)Footwear: buy Vibram FiveFingers or VivoBarefoot (if you don't like toes)Orthotics: inserts are a scam (your arches do not need support)Trails: trails are softer, more varied, and easier on your bodyMiles: gradually increase your distance with barefoot shoesRacing: put your body and health before your training goalsFurther Reading: Born to Run by Christopher McDougallConclusion: The Caveman RuleThere's been so much hijacking of the word “natural” in the past decade that it's hard to even tell what's natural anymore. Amazon and Google are rife with brands that claim to be organic (or minimal or harmless) but turn out to be poisonous garbage.My favorite trick for deciding what's natural is “the caveman rule.” When you're unsure about a product or you have a bad feeling, ask yourself…How ridiculous would a caveman look doing this thing?I can picture a caveman eating plants, running, washing their face, and wearing minimalist shoes or sandals. But when I try to picture a caveman eating at McDonald's, bench pressing two hundred pounds, using a nasal spray, or strapping $200 cushioned Nikes on their feet…I just can't, it's too fucking ridiculous.

Invité : Peter Blanken, fondateur de Chronofocus et Commepiedsnus.com, une enseigne spécialisée dans la vente en chaussures et sandales minimalistes. Quand j'ai reçu Olivier Maria, on a parlé rapidement de chaussures minimalistes, mais parce qu'on voulait parler de son alimentation cétogène, j'ai laissé passer le sujet. Mais parce que c'est quelque chose d'intéressant à regarder j'ai demandé à Peter Blanken de venir en parler avec moi. Peter dirige le Groupe Chronofocus qui était la première société à importer les chaussures à orteils Vibram FiveFingers en France.Après des débuts difficiles, il a réussi à progressivement diffuser ce produit plus largement, notamment à travers la course à pieds en prônant la course avant-pied ou minimaliste.Devenu par la suite distributeur d'autres marques de chaussures minimalistes, il a lancé le site de vente en ligne Commepiedsnus.com et a ouvert un magasin, unique en son genre, à Paris.Leur devise: qu'il faut acheter les chaussures avec les pieds - pas avec la tête. Des chaussures larges, plates, fines, flexibles et confortables qui permettent d'avoir les mêmes sensations et la même liberté de mouvement que d'être pieds nus. Et donc de porter des chaussures et se sentir comme pieds nus.Nos pieds contiennent un quart des os de notre corps ils sont la base de notre posture et de nos mouvements. Ils sont probablement aussi la partie de notre corps la plus négligé et mal-traitée.Plus d'infos:Site: https://www.commepiedsnus.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/commepiedsnus/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/commepiedsnus/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterblanken/Autres références à regarder:Vibram Five Fingers: https://eu.vibram.com/Shoespiracy: https://www.vivobarefoot.com/eu/shoespiracyC'est quoi des chaussures minimalistes ou maximalistes: https://youtu.be/siDWVgCngZkLes enfants et les chaussures: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2010/aug/09/barefoot-best-for-children Présenté par Ben Violot  Retrouvez l'émission aux adresses suivantes: Site web: https://sermentdhypocrite.buzzsprout.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sermentdhypocritepodcast/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sermentdhypocrite/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/lsdhpodcast/  Musique par Chad Crouch: https://www.chadcrouch.com/ Retrouvez Ben Violot  sur son site: https://www.benviolot.com/ sur instagram : https://www.instagram.com/benviolot/ Ce podcast est produit à des fins d'information et de divertissement.

As an avid barefooter, I’ve tried countless barefooting shoes over the years, but none compare to Vibram FiveFingers. I’ve been a fan of FiveFingers for some time — they have allowed me to develop a foot dexterity, nimbleness and strength that I didn’t know was possible! It was so exciting to get a chance to talk to Vibram’s Director of Sales and Distribution, Chris Melton. Chris shares the story of Vibram's early beginnings, how FiveFingers came to be, the evolution of some of their most loved models and what we can look forward to from them in the future. Most importantly, he answers every Vibram fan’s burning question: Is it pronounced Vee-bram or Vy-brum?? Whether you’re a loyal Vibram FiveFingers aficionado or a fan of barefooting in general, this show is for you! EPISODE BREAKDOWN: Daniel answers your questions on: His top fabric choices for clothing Squirrel hunting Rationing animal protein from hunts Daniel discusses a question on the topic of suicide Is it Vee-bram or Vy-brum? A bit about Chris’s background Why are Vibram soles everywhere? Vibram’s recent growth The beginnings of Vibram’s Five Fingers Barefooting shoes and stylishness Women and Vibrams The new Furokshiki shoe and boot Should you wear socks with Vibrams? Wearing barefoot shoes in obstacles courses like Tough Mudder Review of favorite Vibram models The evolution of Vibram models The story of the Vibram class action lawsuit The future of Vibram Where to find Vibram online

Producer Taylor Quimby has been defending Vibram FiveFingers™ shoes to naysayers for years. When people see him wearing them while he’s on the trail or out for a run, they tend to have a pretty visceral reaction, and that reaction is typically disgust. So what is it about these glove-like shoes that makes people so upset? #running #fivefingers #vibram

In today's featured topic, Dr. Minkoff and I discuss prolozone therapy, enhanced external counter pulsation, and other new and alternative methods for chronic pain management and how to stop chronic pain. You can also listen to Dr. Minkoff in... Episode #26: The THREE Main Causes of Illness and Poor Performance Episode #105: A Peek Into The Life of An Ironman, Natural Medicine Physician. Episode #143: Can “Prolotherapy” Make Your Injuries Vanish? --------------------------------------------------------------- Listener Q&A: A listener has a call-in question about whether marathons are bad for your heart. In my response, I mention my article "Is Exercise Bad For You?" John has a call-in question: I've gotten into tri's the last few years, and did my first 70.3 in September (5:37:30). I'm 45 years old, and had a spinal fusion in my L3-5 area about 20 years ago (from a bad accident that left me unable to walk). My question is this: I used to be a lifeguard, and swimming was really fun and easy back in the day...now I have a body drag that is killing my time in the triathlons. Because my spine is now straight, I am unable to "plane" myself in the water, and simply drag myself along. When I use the bouy between my legs, I swim much faster and easier--but when I remove it, everything goes to heck (lack of ability to use muscles to stabilize myself in the water). I've tried working harder on my kicks--but I still sink; I've tried working on lowering my head in the water, but end up not getting planed out....do you have any tips on how I can improve my swim? I've tried a few coaches, and most just don't know what to do. I hate leaving the water in 85th place and having to bust it so hard to get back in the top 50...I'm desperate man. In my response to John, I mention the Aquasphere Phantom wetsuit. Yanet asks: How do I detox from Splenda? I only drink one coffee in the morning but I need 8 Splendas or is not sweet enough. I have tried Stevia, Agave but they do not taste sweet to me no matter how much I put. Should I use regular sugar since it's only once a day? Have I developed a sugar tolerance? I still want to drink my espresso every morning, what do you recommend? In my response to Yanet, I mention my article "12 Ways To Reduce Carbohydrate Cravings". Kevin asks: What is your opinion of D-Aspartic Acid as a natural testosterone booster? I have read a few reviews and studies and have yet to see any negatives. Darren asks: Ben, I recently got a pair of Vibram Fivefingers and am slowly building up mileage. I know a few people who train in Vibrams but when they race they use standard running shoes. From previous episodes I know that if you're racing on a specific surface then you should train on it as the change in surface can lead to injury. Would I be risking injury by racing in standard shoes and training in minimalist shoes? Tony asks: I have a question about my wife and her potential adrenal fatigue, or PMDD, or something crazy going on on a hormone level. It seems like the week before her period, all hell breaks loose in our house, so she went to see her doctor and they diagnosed her with PMDD based on symptoms, and prescribed her an anti-depressant. My wife is wondering what differently can she do nutritionally so her adrenals functioning correctly. So I am speaking for myself and my kids, Ben can you help my wife gain her sanity back? Jesse asks: How many fasted runs should you do in a week? I do most of my running before my wife and kids get up or I go to work. Which means I haven't eaten for at least 12 hours. I am running 4 days a week, three quality/ speed runs during the week and a long run on the weekend of about an hour or so. Should I eat before some of these? Or is it ok to do all of your exercise fasted? Bill asks: I know you have carbon clinchers from Gray. If you were to do it over again, with all the new wheels out there, would you consider a tubular tire to save a few grams? Flats are my big worry during a race and are the tubulars less susceptible to flatting? Also, are the claims of super aero wheels from Zipp firecrest and Profile making a real world difference for the 20 mph riders?
