So I saw this in another thread but it was 4 years old so I thought I'd share my solution.
(old thread: http://www.thebarefootrunners.org/threads/garmin-foot-pod.3506/)
I run barefoot on the treadmill a lot, and there' also a beach close by. It's apparently water proof so this set up should be good on the beach and hold up against sand, though I haven't tested there yet.
A lot of people were putting it on their ankle, which I've tried, but the pod has a little arrow in front and the sensors are designed to detect striking impact with the pod at the front of the foot. I proved this by testing and getting much more accurate readings, compared to the ankle.
It's a little ghetto, and I'd prefer an elastic velcro, but the trick is finding something that has two little shoelace sized strings/fabric to put the tight fitting pod on. I'm using a removeable camelbak waist strap until I can find something a little better, but this has held up for 3 miles with no problems:
Edit: man feet are ugly, I shoulda zoomed out. Oh well!
