    Race time: Do you pimp out your feet? Pics?

    Hey all! I have a race (all barefoot 1/2 marathon) coming up really soon and I was wondering how or IF I should pimp out my feet? I'm thinking of doing some doodles or lightning bolts in permanent marker, or painting my toenails crazy...but then there's a part of me that would rather leave...

    Brooks new Flex-groove "minimal" shoe thingy....makes me giggle!

    I love how some companies are trying to get on the minimalist bandwagon and failing completely. Not really surprised, since Brooks is the maker of THE BEAST, the most motion-controlled shoe on the market. But their logic is very...strange...

    Can bath salts carrode your pads?

    Hey all! I was just wondering if anyone's had any experience with bath salts. I took a foot bath the other day (to give my hardworking feet a little pampering) and today my feet felt SUPER-tender on my run. No blisters, just feeling soft. I was wondering if anyone else has any similar...

    My 1 Year Anniversary! (with before & after pics)

    Hey everyone! I just wanted to share that it's my 1-Year Anniversary running barefoot this month & I'm happy as can be! Mid June, 2010 I began this journey and since then I've experienced many miles of happy running (100+ miles, since last time I checked I was beyond the 80s last winter...I...

    Anyone see the new X-Men movie? Running on your hands....what!?!?

    I just thought it was funny when I was in the theater watching "X-Men First Class" to see Beast running on hand-like appendages. No deep thought here, just really funny that in the comic-book hollywood world advanced evolution would be for someone to obviously run much faster and better on feet...

    Saucony Hattori - Any thoughts?

    Hey all, saw this on Runners World Today: http://gear.runnersworld.com/2011/05/saucony-minimalism.html The new Saconys are 0 drop and are only $80! Nice seeing another big company jump on the minimalist bandwagon. However, I never did like Saucony when I was a shoddie. Any thoughts on the new...

    Awesome report & nice recap! I was thinking about this challenge the other day...I'm glad I gave it a go this year. Maybe next year I can go for more than a mile at a time between warming up my feet in water shoes. Feeling bare feet on snow & ice is a priceless feeling everyone should...

    Barefoot hiking with Colorado peeps!

    I started a barefoot hiking group out here in the Boulder area...Our first meeting was today & it was SO MUCH FUN! Almost everyone (despite showing up in an assortment of VFFs, Zems, water shoes) shucked their shoes once we got out in the wild open nature, which really surprised me! A great...

    RRRRRR! Cave (wo)man feets!!!

    Ok, I should probably post this in Abide's "My Feet are like Logs!" thread but I really wanted to brag :shy: I went for a 4.6 miler today, got home and my feet were filthy. To top it off, the dry/warm weather has me actually looking at them again out of moccasins. And here they be...

    Soreness in the "Peroneus Longus" ... does it mean I'm balancing more?

    Hey all, I've been barefoot running for a while now...like, 9 months, but also have been barefoot hiking lately when the snow melts and it gets warm. One of the side effects I'm finding is my outer calf muscles have been sore. It's on both sides, on the outside of my leg, running just down the...

    Guy runs in Chuck Taylors (*ghaaaasp!!!!!!*)

    Found this video on RunnersWorld.com and was wondering if anyone else saw it...This guy ran in Chuck Taylors, much to the chagrin of his blog fans. Video HERE It's funny when people expect the world to end without heel cushioning or toe springs. Although, he is a heel-striker and running in...

    Any knitters out there!? Making your own winter running gear...

    I was wodnering if there are any knitting runners out there...mostly because I've noticed most of my winter running gear is entering the "home made" category. I'm rather proud of my gigantic wool cowl (that wraps around my head TWICE, and fasten with a gigantic safety pin) & ribbed arm warmers...

    Member Blog of the Week First Barefoot Snow Run By Barefooting Bob Some might say I have crossed over the line from 'Crazy' to 'Down Right Insane,' if they saw me running around downtown last Friday decked in my winter running gear and no shoes.

    Dogs feet need protection....WHAT!?!

    Hahahaha this made me laugh, and it made me scared: http://www.active.com/triathlon/Articles/Cold_weather_running_with_your_dog.htm?cmp=17-7614 Also made me think about Saypay and Rick and those kids from Boulder (Michael & Jessie) and how their feet may be stronger than DOG FEET. What...

    Another noob with dirt between her toes...

    Okie dokie! I did it! I ran with the dirt between my toes and I LIKED IT! Lol. This was my first non-pavement run in the 7 months (?) I've been running barefoot. Pics here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2209225&id=40012561&saved Thanks for the rough terrain challenge, Jason. I'm...
