I would not recommend any part of Forrest's outfit for this type of adventure." - Jon Teipen would have a huge impact on his comfort and enjoyment in regards to minimizing blisters, chafing, and overuse injuries. "If you average 300 miles per shoe, Forrest would need 33+ pairs of shoes to get to 10,000 miles. However, his red windbreaker seems to work pretty well and his Bubba Gump hat is clutch." - Gabriel Maricich The button-down is going to hold a ton of moisture, especially when he begins his run in Alabama.

His back is straight, he's landing sort of mid-foot, he's driving forward with his knees, his arms are relaxed." - Chris McDougall "He starts to run and my first thought is, 'F-k, this guy's got perfect form.' Tom Hanks is running beautifully. Now, I wanted not only to know if such a feat would be possible but also to understand the mind-set of an ultra-ultra-ultra runner, what this kind of constant activity would do to the body, and what we normal runners can learn from such a fantastical, fictional journey.
