    Shoes with wide toe box

    In my humble opinion, there is no shoe wider than Soft Star moccasins from www.softstarshoes.com. They are my favorite shoes, and my feet are monstrously wide. I have a hard time finding any shoes that fit me, because I have completely square feet with big toe muscles. The neat thing about Soft...

    New Barefoot Runner

    Top of the foot pain is totally normal. When I started out (and overdid it :rolleyes: ) I would wear big huge cushy shoes when walking around the neighborhood, to protect my totally blown foot muscles. You'll see your feet, ankles, and calves will get super strong in no time! Just be careful to...

    First barefoot run of the season

    I had my first big barefoot run the other day too! I've spent the long COLD winter in Soft Star RunAmoc moccasins. In Colorado we actually got heaps of snow & lots of bitter wind (strangely my home state of Michigan didn't really get winter this year?) Anyway, if anyone experiences terrible calf...

    I'm the only one?

    I'm always hearing that I'm always hearing that violin music too.... :( I was at a Turkey Trot last week with over 1000 participants, and didn't see a single pair of VFFs, much less completely skin-to-ground as I was. And they say Boulder, CO, is home of some of the most famous barefoot...

    I'm Confused

    I think what you should take I think what you should take away from watching pro runners run is the knee-bend. Their knee seems to fall limp at a 90-degree angle in front of them when they run - an easy, smooth, gliding landing. Regardless of footstrike you can see they take care of their knees...

    Do your feet itch with anticipation??

    Yes yes yes! It must have Yes yes yes! It must have something to do with pad development. Even worse when they're in shoes - sweating and itching. They cry out *We need exfoliation! Give us some concrete to chew!*

    Tired of hearing "You are going to pick up some disease"

    I got the disease line the I got the disease line the other day from my neighbor, who looked at my feet, bug-eyed, and said "It's all fun until you get some disease, or step on a STICK!" Later that weekend I went for a barefoot hike and made a point to shout, "OMG I stepped on a stick! OMG I...

    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...

    Do you feel sorry for shod runners?

    Meh. I feel sorry for runners Meh. I feel sorry for runners with really awful form, let's leave it at that. For example, I once had a boss and she was a super nice lady. And I saw her running at the gym one day and it SHOCKED me! Her shoulders were hunched, her lungs compressed, her head down...

    Opinion on beer?

I am in the unfotunate (HA!) position of living in Colorado, home to many fine local beers, which has really affected my weekend drinking :D My general plan is to have a couple around dinnertime - 5 to 6pm - and then drink a lot of water before bed. This morning I...

    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...
