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...

Inspired by Thea Gavin, I recently hiked down Bright Angel Trail without shoes, and then at the bottom put on my Terraflex trail-running shoes and power-hiked back out.

This is a post I made at /r/BarefootRunning several months ago that has proven very helpful to folks over time. I wanted to share it here, too.
-----------------
I still see a lot of people warning about the dangers of heel-striking without fully understanding why. It all comes down to blaming...
The new idea to make the Barefoot Autism Challenge year round has been a good idea so far! Even though some months don't have a lot of posts as April has, this is the first time I made the decision to make the challenge year round. So there's still some things I'm adjusting to for it, but we're...
Today's early morning run had a companion, one of my house guests. We did my usual route, but today's menu had me running for 15 minutes then walking 5, then running another 15. I noticed that I kept a little quicker pace trying to keep up with my companion, but I tried to stick to my usual as...
Friday, I was running on fumes sleep wise. I nearly didn't want to run, but I decided to anyway because I needed the zen meditative state that running brings me. Best decision ever. For the first time, I didn't have any hotspots, abrasions, or soreness in general. I ran my longest...
"Week 6," or for me, Week 8, was a wrap on Thursday. I can't say that my last two runs of the week were my most wonderful or transcendent, but they were still delightful. My body still dislikes running after the sun comes up, but I keep making it.
I do wonder when my heart rate will...
Last night, I went for a wonderful, albeit overly long walk. It was a test for my feet, to see if the blistery bits had healed. Turns out, yes. Yes they had. I wound up walking about 5.5 miles in my xeros. The only bad part was that my phone died mid-walk, so my backup plan was kaput until I got...
Here, I thought I was doing so well.
And I was, until today when my Superman complex kicked in.
The small set of blisters under my third and fourth MP joints on the right side had finally given up the ghost, lost their extra hide, and had started toughening the underskin. The left side blister...
Barefoot TJ kindly asked that I start making blog posts. I've got a few things I've posted over on reddit that made for interesting conversation so I'll start putting them up here, too.
For the most part people have a very linear view of traction: more traction is better than less traction. I'm...
Poetic MissRandie:
This morning, something finally "clicked."
I had an urge to go run and, rather than keeping to my schedule for schedule's sake, I went ahead and did a mindful scan of my body to see if it would be a wise idea. (This is something I've begun doing, and it's quite freeing to...
As of today, I am just a little over two weeks into the beginnings of my new footloose and fancy free lifestyle. Just a baby tender hoofed calf. My feet are a bit grumpy, but I fully expected them to be. I've had them encased for so long in careful footwear that I had let them lazily atrophy...
I've spent some time in the forums to realize that most of the population just don't get why some people choose to run/walk barefoot. Most of the non-barefooters will ask why do you run barefoot, and after giving your reasons, will mostly politely nod but others will give you a litany of reasons...
El cuerpo humano se desarrolló al largo de millones de años caminando y corriendo descalzo en la naturaleza. Por eso, el sistema ortopédico y muscular no están condicionados para funcionar bien cuando nos ponemos sobre un calzado, por más que la suela y el salto sean bajos y repletos de...

Throughout my life, I have loved being barefoot, and I even managed to go to school barefoot at a few times during my K-12 years, and now that I'm in college, I can go barefoot anytime anywhere, but in school there was always a rule requiring shoes. I managed to slip under its radar a few times...
Not that long ago, my two closest friends had some very mortifying things happen to them.
My friends' names are Bartolomeo and Giovanni (Bart and Gianni), and they're exactly my same age. We are like brothers, so that's how close we are.
Let's start with Bart:
It was his 18th birthday, and we...
At the moment i am staying in the Alpujarra mountains training to run Barefoot Across Spain in March next year - as well as enjoying taking more Spanish lessons every day!
I met up with Jack on Thursday evening to talk about his process in planning the route for me to run from Suances to...
I started college this fall. In the first few weeks, it was still warm enough for shorts and bare feet. Sadly, it's too cold to wear any of that now. But once it warms back up enough, my feet are coming right back out from their leather cases. I have been thinking of fun barefoot things to do...
A week of training in the life of a barefoot runner training to run across Spain…!
Sunday October 1st
I woke as dawn streaked across Lanzarote island; my plan was to run 24 kilometres and meet Anadi for breakfast on Famara beach… I had checked the tide tables and saw that I would have time for...
I am a lifetime runner... I started running in my bare feet at six years old and now at fifty eight years old I have taken my shoes off again and I am living and running barefoot...I worked in the lives of others for forty years teaching them how to live fully through embracing the journey we...
