LIAR!

From the Wall Street Journal:
Runners such as Mr. Adler blame widespread anti-foot bias. Gym members opposed to their shoeless counterparts have "just accepted all their life that that's how feet are, that feet are these disgusting, germy things," he says.

Who is this Adler person?
 
Sh!t like this p!sses me off! I mean it's one thing to have a stance and stick by it, it's another to lie to back it up.
 
Purely anecdatal, but for many years prior to now I'd usually get athlete's foot or some ringworm developing around my ankles once or twice a year. I had some ringworm that I had begun to treat in early June a few days before I made my decision to start going barefoot. A few days after being shoeless, the ringworm had disappeared and I haven't seen or felt anything since.

His words would have been received with greater credibility had the WSJ used the correct honorific as they did in the earlier paragraphs.

I wonder if anyone has tried using toe socks, when gym management won't let them go barefoot on the treadmill?
I wear my Sockwa or VFF on the treadmill. The only comments I get are about how 'cool' they are. One day I'm going to slip them off just to see what happens ;)
