@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
