    A real discussion or more of the same???

    Let me start by throwing many thanks to Planetshoes.com for providing the Terra-Plana Vivo Barefoot Achilles sandals for my wear-test and review. I would also like to thank the Barefoot Runners Society and all of its membership. I have never had so much fun running until I ditched my shoes. As...

    Slowtwitch forums

    Another one of those barefoot running... bashing threads. Those present are from both sides of the aisle, but I can't help but think that the OP was trying to stir the pot. To each their own... I hope to be running so fast that there is no time to stop and talk about it. Sheesh...

    Looking for a work shoe?

    Patagonia Loulu's... my first impression. These will work until something better comes along. http://deviantrunner.wordpress.com/2011/03/01/work-shoe-for-barefooters/

    Disdain for shoes

    If you are like me... the last year+ of running barefoot has cause me to develop a broad spectrum intolerance for most conventional shoes. If this has happened to you, I am wondering... how has your disdain for shoes affected your life?

    Merrell Tough Glove - my new work shoe

    This will be my new work shoe. I didn't see a specific release date on Merrell's site. Does anyone here have the scoop? My bosses have outlawed my VFF's at work ... need to implement plan B soon. :D

    Merrill Trail Glove

    OK... I took the image from one of the ads and played a bit. I copied the foot on the right... mirrored it... added transparency... and layed it over the shoe on the left. I was considering these, but I don't want my big toe pushed to the side. So... any who have worn these... is your big...

    Zems with a vibram sole

    Has anyone thought about taking a pair of Zems and glue a 4mm vibram sole to the bottom? Kinda like a runamoc is a moccasin with a vibram sole glued on. Also, do the Zems squeeze your foot? I mean are they snug fitting?

    Books about Barefoot Running

    I really thought there was plenty of reference material out there. Between Michael Sandlers book, Jason's book, and Ken Bob's entire website... not to mention two forums frequented by people with centuries of barefoot running experience (collectively)... yet another book seem to be emerging...

    Teetering on the edge

    I have been running barefoot for about 9 months now. I transitioned from shoes using the cold-turkey methodology. That was a bit challenging, but I worked up gradually and completed my first half-marathon ever on Sept. 5th. My question is... Why do I always feel like I am teetering on the...

    Virginia Beach Rock & Roll Half-Marathon, Sept. 5th, 2010

    So, I finished the half-marathon without any major issues. 2:21:11... My time was not spectactular, but my training focused on form and endurance... not speed. As far as I know, I was the only completely barefoot participant. I saw about 6 others in VFF's and didn't notice any other...

    Final Hurdle In My Transition

    I have been at this since January 2010. In the beginning, TMTS got me and I had to quit for 7 weeks. Nonetheless, I jumped back in and have progressed up pretty well. My mileage has progressed to over 20 per week with my peak weekly mileage at 24.2ish. (I can't remember exactly) Over the...
