Minimalist shoes increase risk of foot injury

New study finds that wearing minimalist running shoes, Vibram FiveFingers in particular, can lead to greater risk of bone injuries in the foot among runners. Slow transitions into minimalist shoes can help prevent injury. Always consult your podiatrist before changing to minimalist foot wear to keep your feet in the race.
