You barely know that you are wearing them and they offer great support. Before I tried the Birkenstocks, I had orthodics made which burned when I walked for longer distances in them and always burned when I ran. They were just uncomfortable to say the least. I find the Birkenstocks very comfortable. Today, I am almost totally free of my Plantar Fasciitis, but still always wear the Birkenstocks. <div class='myrp_boxes myrp_comment_helpful' id='myrp_22507_helpful'>Did you find this review helpful? <a href='javascript:myrp_cast_helpful(22507, true);'>Yes</a>   <a href='javascript:myrp_cast_helpful(22507, false);'>No</a></div> <br /> Yes, I run always in my Birkenstock Blue Footbeds.

Just curious, my plantar fasciitis was healed when I used orthotics. It was uncomfortable at at first and yes, it felt like my feet was burning but the pain eventually went away even if I kept on running. I was advised though that I have to have the cushion changed after a few months as it would harden. Recently, I felt that I have to have it changed because the pain is back, after 4 to 5 months of using orthotics. <div class='myrp_boxes myrp_comment_helpful' id='myrp_22506_helpful'>Did you find this review helpful? <a href='javascript:myrp_cast_helpful(22506, true);'>Yes</a>   <a href='javascript:myrp_cast_helpful(22506, false);'>No</a></div> <br /> May I ask if you can run with these Birkenstock Blue Footbeds?

]]> Comment on Garmin Forerunner 305 vs 405 by Rob, StrideFit Personal Trainer, Brighton http://online-running-gear.com/blog/advise-opinions/garmin-forerunner-305/#comment-22457 Rob, StrideFit Personal Trainer, Brighton Fri, 27 Jan 2012 22:49:17 +0000 http://online-running-gear.com/blog/shopping-deals-and-steals/garmin-forerunner-305/#comment-22457 Like the review! I've owned many different heart rate monitors - all of which have gradually faded and died - and decided this Christmas to make the jump up to a GPS/HR unit. I bought the 405 because a) it was on offer and b) it looked more compact and watch-like so I would probably get away with wearing it like a watch (vain I know). The 405 is great but there are a load of things that grate about it - I almost regret not getting the 305! I'm hoping to integrate it into some of the personal training sessions soon. I'm writing a review on it this week on my PT blog. Come and check it out. <div class='myrp_boxes myrp_comment_helpful' id='myrp_22457_helpful'>Did you find this review helpful? <a href='javascript:myrp_cast_helpful(22457, true);'>Yes</a>   <a href='javascript:myrp_cast_helpful(22457, false);'>No</a></div> <br /> Like the review!
