I really wish today hadn't been dismal. Could've used sunshine today. Instead, I'm feeling kind of icky and worn out and just down. House is a pit.

I just got my KSOs and I heart them.

I think I still heel strike in them walking about 75% of the time when I'm not thinking about it and let my stride get too long, but I'm not doing it hard. There's a spot on my left heel that seems to take all the abuse from rocks, nail heads, etc - I swear, if there's one single hazard on an otherwise flat empty surface, that spot gets hit by it like it's a magnet - so I'm trying to be really conscious of how I'm walking now and land on the midfoot.

I don't know how I'd do if I tried any real distance walking in them - and I sit most of the day - but I think it helps not-heel-striking so much that the carpet where I work is thin and directly glued to the concrete instead of padded.

This post might have something: http://birthdayshoes.com/how-to-walk-barefoot-faq (I've created a feed for birthday shoes over at DW - http://bdayshoes-feed.dreamwidth.org/)

I'm wearing mine on the road so that might be part of my walking problem -- I'm already on a hard surface. I'll check out that link. Thanks!
