Have you ever noticed how all the running and jogging shoes are designed with a form that places your heel higher than your toes? This universal design is intended to take the stress off your Achilles' heel, and place it on your toes (the theory presumes that your toes are more able to handle pressure than your heels. Minimalist running and jogging shoes however will have almost no slope. They let your foot be level as it was meant to be; and the heel goes with the cushioning it naturally has, no more. But the makers of minimalist shoes aren't usually in complete agreement over what exactly constitutes minimalism. There are several levels of it. The Newton Gravity Trainer places your heel 3 mm about your toes, and other go three times as high.

If you have been running in standard cushioned jogging shoes for years, the move you make to minimalist lightweight shoes should be gradual. When your feet aren't forced into the unnatural position that commercial shoes adopt, they will take some time to adjust to the new situation. On minimalist shoes you'll usually land on your midfoot when you run; also, the core of your calves that usually have such a hard time keeping your body upright in commercial shoes, have a tough time adjusting when they suddenly find themselves in a natural position again in minimalist shoes. This changes everything for how your muscles coordinate together, and they need to be allowed to gradually adopt your new gait. If your leg muscles aren't properly strengthened with dynamic and general strength exercises, the natural gait might actually cause injuries. In the beginning, it's best to use these minimalist jogging shoes for short distance jogging.

One of the first entrants and the most popular in the minimalist jogging shoes arena is Nike Free. Their shoes come in different levels of minimalism; the Free 3.0 v2 is the barest pair they have, and the Nike Free 5.0 V4 is the most heavily cushioned. Another brand, the Terra Plana Vivo Barefoot is a really pliable and soft pair of very flexible shoes, and the Vibram FiveFingers are shaped with ten toes like real feet. They all do a great job with minimalism, and with a little experimentation, you should find your perfect fit.
