The other day, I decided to go old school and lace up my Nike Oregon Waffles on for a 13 miler along the Lakefront Trail heading north from Navy Pier to ... wherever it was I turned around. It was a good run, but I rolled my ankle on a break in the sidewalk around mile 10 -- not pleasant. Some people wonder if it's a problem running in vintage shoes with their lack of modern cushioning. It doesn't bother me at all since I enjoy running in minimal shoes such as racers and barefoot designs, and I figure, if it was good enough for those great runners of the past, it should be just fine for me.
