It's really coldI do find that if I can keep my core, head and hands warm, my feet are fine. I'm sure there's a limit to this.- Clark

It's really coldDo you find that when you run barefoot in seriously frigid temps, that if you bundle up thick in the torso, your feet don't feel the cold as much...

I was lucky enough to win a pair of Xero Speed Force on this forum, and so in return, here's my review. I actually own two pairs, as I treated myself to another pair for everyday use, so I've worn one or the other for a couple of months now. I've tried to give as full a review as possible, but...
Imagine a person 30+ with a 9-5 job sitting in front of a computer screen most of the day, 2hrs commute sitting. This human also trains 2-3 times a week at the local gym with some weights. Now it is time to go for the marathon and prepare for it. Is this person going to check if a respiration...
Hey all,
I run barefoot a few times a week but always need to stop after about a mile due to some weird arch pain. It definitely is not plantar fasciitis. I would guess that it's nerve pain of some sort but I'm not for sure. I usually only feel it while I run or after my runs while walking...
Hi All,
Does anyone have any experience in BF running post knee replacement?
My surgeon keeps telling that I will damage the knees. I keep telling him that BF running is safer than running in shoes.
It was a barefoot runner talking about shoes. I felt the presenter was joking, how could a barefoot runner talk something good about shoes? In shock and denial, I kept listening and there was a point. It is a trade-off. People may look better with elevated heels or feel more confident. At the...

EVEN BETTER THAN THE REAL THING
with Dr Peter Francis,
Join Dr Francis as he shares his research on how existing musculoskeletal conditions can be improved by reverting to minimalist footwear, allowing the foot to move and...
Looking for something else I came across a video about good things to know before starting running. The things were: shoes, food, apps, places and motivation. I guess there is no real order. All those things are important for that person and it seems to resonate by judging by the amount of...
Hello anyone in Virginia wish to meet up to learn from each other barefoot and teach me techniques?
It's okay. A lot of people on the forums don't know that I actually can't run anymore, not since 2012. I took my last run in November of 2011. I developed Morton's Neuroma (interdigital perineural fibroma compression is the actual term) in the main nerve branches that run between the...
Like running? Want to keep running well as you age? Consider running barefoot. Here's one of many possible arguments why:
Ankles, not knees or hips, are the joints that are primarily responsible for age-related declines in running performance.^1 Barefoot running requires more effort from -- and...
This was posted on my blog www.thelongbrownpath.com
On November 22, 2018 I completed the Art Van Turkey Trot Chicago 5-mile race, coming in 3rd out of 70 in my age group and 119 out of 2180 overall. My son Philip finished #8 in his age group and my wife Sue, who ran the 5k, finished #6 in her...
Everything is new and exciting to me as a novice runner. I feel like I’m constantly running along a knife’s edge between the joy of accomplishing new feats and the drear of taking another week off due to injury. Sometimes, the benefits are completely unexpected, like seeing the sooty majesty of...
I never gave much thought to the social aspect of going out into the world with bare feet. But, this is a thing, at least here in Portland, Oregon: people look at me.
Some of them just stare at my feet. If they were in the middle of a sentence, they stop talking. One guy today came around the...
Today I went for a three mile walk, unshod, which included 1.3 miles of gravel path. I’ve walked that route dozens of times in shoes but it wasn’t nearly as smooth as I remember it. This barefoot walk was possibly the most intense experience of my life, surpassing the exhilaration of topping a...
Last time I posted, I was going off to see my mother for the first time since I started this barefoot project, and I was wondering how she would react to that. Turns out, she was very interested. She’s always had knee pain as well, and my testimony that I was finally able to jog without any knee...
Hello everyone how many years did it take every each one of you to thus facilitate callous to the max so you barely feel the surface!?

I’ve decided to start a blog because I have recieved so much from the barefoot community and want to return the love. I’ll be working on documenting my experience so that others can learn from my joys and mistakes — probably mostly mistakes. For now, though, I thought I’d ask a question of the...
Here's an update on my barefoot journey, which started in 2015 (inspired by, of course, Born to Run) and is now up to 3,000 miles of running, hiking, and walking. In recent months, I've learned a lot from reading Ken Bob Saxton's book on barefoot running, and just wish I'd read it much earlier...
Hi guys, wanted to know if anyone know about any barefoot race or meeting in Europe. Would love not to feel 'alone' for a little while :-).
Thanks
