Should I switch to minimalist running shoes?
I've been hearing a lot lately about running in minimal shoes, like with barely any cushioning. I'm used to regular running shoes with padding. Is there any point in trying them out or is it just a trend?

Minimalist shoes aren't a cure-all and they're not necessarily better. They make sense if you're healthy and ready for a gradual transition - your feet need months to adapt, not weeks, otherwise you risk injury. But if you're already comfortable in regular shoes, there's no reason to switch, trend or not. What matters most in running is consistency and form, not the type of sole.
