Hey. Don't be a dick. It's rule #1. I'm literally doing it right now, friend. I wouldn't have "argued" the point if I didn't believe it or try it. I switched to "barefoot" sandals (Xero shoes) a year ago, have adjusted the way I walk and run accordingly (no heel striking), have increased my foot strength and balance immensely. I land/fall/use my feet way more gracefully than you ever will. I watched that Ebon Turner video on Braille's channel [VIDEO] , and literally thought, "I need to get in on this". I just got into skating, and got my first board from a thirft shop last week. So, here I am, reporting back. You wanna throw a tantrum, or are we good?
