You don't need to be a Photoshop expert to give its new generative AI a test drive. Adobe has added a number of AI features to its premiere photo editor over the past few years, and if you use Photoshop regularly, you've probably seen these pop up on your task bars.

19 Best Barefoot Shoes for Running or Walking (2025), Tested and Reviewed

wired.com Scott Gilbertson 2026-01-12 09:00:00

FAQs How do you define a barefoot shoe? Readers often ask why we don't include Altra or other zero-drop shoes. The answer has to do with how thick the sole is. Our definition of a barefoot shoe is that it should have a thin sole, or stack height as this is sometimes called.
