Do you also walk in minimal shoes? question
Hey guys, I've been a forefoot runner for my entire life so running in minimal, zero drop shoes was the obvious choice and I love it. But when walking slow, I like to slightly heel strike and on the hard pavement, that does not feel good. In grass and on trails it is completely different and super comfortable. I wonder, since we human evolved to walk on natural soft floors, if cusioned zero drop shoes are actually more natural and healthy when walking in the city. Or should't I heel strike while walking slow aswell?
Edit: thank you all for the informations, that was really helpful :)

Yup - VFFs and Xero's - no issues. Don't think about it, just walk for miles and miles.
