I still have a fair amount of shin pain when I run. I'm a wimp so when it gets bad enough I quit. I'd rather that than get injured. I have no doubt that when I get really comfortable with the Chi Running form some of that will go away, but I know I need new shoes.
I have a friend who practices barefoot running with shoes. She began after reading this article in Men's Health (long but worth the read). My friend runs in Nike Frees.
I admit I've been eyeing these shoes for awhile. They look so cool, and hey, even Paula Radcliffe wears them. In fact the only things keeping me from buying them are (1) I'm broke, and (2) I hear a lot about how Nikes aren't great shoes. The runners I know don't like them. But I figure they're not famous because they're crappy, so when I have the money I'll at least try on a pair and see what I think.
