    Minimal Dress Shoes for Women

    Hello everyone, I've been away for awhile but I'm back now... I've got a question for all the women out there who have to wear shoes to work, or who wear minimal dress shoes to go out. I need a dressy shoe to wear to work, that's minimal. I'm changing jobs, and I could wear VFFs or moccasins...

    Question for "Full Time Barefooters"

    Hey guys, I've noticed a few of us are full-time barefooters, and I was wondering about something. It seems that many full-timers choose flip-flops as their go-to shoes when they need them. Why is that? Is it the ease of getting them on/off, or the fact that they are flat/no heel? Or, is it...

Every time I log in here and read the forums, blogs, or tips, I feel like going for a run and overdoing it. ;) Seriously, though, after being a member just over a week, I've gone...
