     @kaia shoes with thin sole like barefoot shoes reduce the lever when your foot goes sideways if that's what happened. Haven't twisted my ancle once while running since switching

     @snacks oh that's good idea. I thought about opposite of increasing height.

     @kaia @snacks I’m not a very avid runner (or not a runner at all), but I can definitely reccomend shoes that are thinner and more flexible, especially something with a wider toe box (there’s some brands of hiking sandals that are my favorite, though obviously only for hot weather)

     careful when switching to these kinds of shoes, you need to make sure your form is good (mostly ball of the foot to absorb impacts, no heel strike) and go easy because the small stabilizing muscles in your feet are probably weak and need conditioning if you spend most of your time in normal shoes

     keep in mind though, the really thin barefoot style shoes shouldn’t be heavily used on asphalt or cement, hard surfaces fuck with your joints if you don’t have enough padding, softer surfaces like jogging tracks or dirt trails and such definitely work though

     @Clover @kaia yeah, forgot to mention that you need to make sure not to heel strike with these kinds od shoes, running will prob be more exhausting until you get used to them too
