No Shoes for Tuesday
Current Weight: 305.2 lbs.
Total Weight Loss: 124.8 lbs
Today I finally got my New Balance Minimus MT10's! They're minimalist shoes, very little padding. They're pretty cool. I went for a quick walk with them and very quickly I could feel underdeveloped muscles in my feet start to complain, they're used to a couple inches of padding.
When walking in them I could "feel" the pavement beneath me. Small rocks, depressions, even cracks, I could feel them when normally I would walk on by without noticing.
The primal diet is going very well. Have lost nearly 6 lbs in the 10 days I've been on it.

So are the new shoes worth it?
Yea, they're pretty cool. Only problem is the right heel has a hot spot which rubbed it raw. My old shoes did the same, I fixed that with gel inserts and technical socks.. but I can't do that with these shoes, it defeats the purpose of them.
I found I can use athletic tape to cover my heel and that keeps it pretty safe. For now I'm letting that spot heal completely before going walking with them again, should be soon.
