I have had all the normal comments about getting hurt and doesn't that hurt but my favorite was a conversation I had at my first barefoot race.
An older gentleman caught up to me, looked down and said
Him: Nice shoes
Me: thanks
Him: where did you get them?
Me: mom gave them to me for my birthday
He laughed and said I was looking good and then fell back. With the exception of a few horrified looks before the race started no one said anything about my feet and seeing as I came in 16th overall it was a great inaugural race for me.
