I usually just run around my neighborhood, and past a certain point there are no more sidewalks, so I'm usually running on the shoulder which is pretty wide. I was just curious if anyone else has the same experience - drivers give me a much wider berth when I'm barefoot than when I was shod.
I just notice that the cars slow WAY down and will go as far to the other side of the road as possible to get around me, when I'm not even in the road. I've even had a couple stop behind me, wait for oncoming traffic to pass, then drive all the way to the other side and around. It was never that bad when I was wearing shoes.
Is it just me? Do my bare feet make me look insane? Like I'm going to jump out in the road? I mean, I'm sure I probably am crazy, but they don't know that.
