The shoes definitely encourage midfoot/forefoot striking. If you land on your heels in these it hurts! It's almost like putting a shock collar on a dog to get it to stop jumping on the table.

Do the shoes encourage forfoot/midfoot strike? I have two pair of Vibrams and find when I run a distance over 5-6 miles I get tired and start to heel strike sometimes. I almost always go completely barefoot now and wear my Vibrams as my primary shoes. Get a lot of weird looks but I just don't care at all!

You bring up a good point about the Manhattan Bridge's separation of bikes and pedestrians. I'm still personally partial to the Willy B, but it's worth noting that the Manhattan has its own appeal.

Interesting observation on the bridges–though I'm always coming at it from a biking perspective. I LOVE the Manhattan Bridge way more than the other two: the Brooklyn Bridge is the most gorgeous architecturally-speaking but tourist HELL and my experience of the Williamsburg Bridge has been pretty clogged with mixed pedestrian/running/cycling traffic. I like the very clear cut separation of sides on the Manhattan Bridge (cycles on the north side of traffic and pedestrians/running on the south side of traffic). Which probably says more about the way my brain works; never mix, never worry. Well hardly ever…people walk on the wrong side all the time; curses!

Hey Crystal - my video really doesn't do the view any justice. In case you couldn't tell - I LOVE the Invisible Shoes! http://www.invisibleshoe.com/
