    comparing kso and flows

    Thanks for the input from Thanks for the input from both of you! Chelsea, I was looking at bikilas, but I had heard their insole/ outsole combo was either thicker or felt thicker, so I chose my KSOs. I was looking into the Flows for when it is snowy and cold out to keep my feet warmer than my...

    comparing kso and flows

    Sorry if this has been posted and beat into the ground already, I searched and didn't find the answer. I own a pair of kso's for days when it's rainy or my feet are just feeling a little beat up, and with winter here, am looking at a pair of flows to run around in while it is cold and snowy...

    No problem! Continued success with Paleo! It is interesting trying to narrow down allergens sometimes, when I was a kid my medical records showed me being allergic to approximately 30 meds because of a mix up. Years after that, I was sent to a different hospital where I got 20 or so skin pricks...

    I've heard a little about the Paleo diet, but really don't know much about it. I'm vegan, so I don't eat dairy anyways. I've never heard about dairy affecting hearing, that's really interesting! Good luck with this diet, it sounds like it's going to work well for you! Keep us posted on the long...

    What's wrong with my huaraches?

    I don't have a leather punch I don't have a leather punch so I just drilled the holes in mine. Just go a little smaller drill bit than the material to keep things a little tighter and use something (i used a nail I believe) to push the lacing through the holes. FWIW I have the 4mm Vibram...

    My First Barefoot Race Experience... a Surprise

    inbetweenmytoes- I was inbetweenmytoes- I was looking at doing the Le Grizz in 2011 while I was still running in shoes, not sure if I'll have my mileage up high enough now barefoot or not, but it's definitely one that I'm aiming for. Good Luck!

    Hydration

    @ Jeepmonkey, first off Jeeps @ Jeepmonkey, first off Jeeps are the sh@t, just had to throw that out there! I've heard that too, about becoming a heat casualty and being more susceptible. I think people respond to things differently, and it is always better to have it and not need it than to...

    Hey there, Myles!  I had Hey there, Myles! I had actually gotten over my PF while still in shoes, but I did study and alter my running form to a mid/ forefoot strike and a higher, lighter cadence as in barefoot running. The effect was immediate and a huge difference. After many miles of...

    So how would this work, Barefoot Tri

    I'm contemplating running a I'm contemplating running a half ironman next year barefoot as well. I'm going to do a few sprints to see how my feet hold up, as well as a few running-only events, so *crosses fingers* hopefully it works out. Good luck to you!

    Hydration

    I start my day off drinking a I start my day off drinking a large glass of water with a tablespoon of chia seeds, then a couple of liters of water a day during work, and smaller glasses of water in the evening. I keep my hydration up and rarely carry anything or drink while running. I hate...

    Thanks, guys!  Stress Thanks, guys! Stress fractures are nasty business, but honestly, the PF was more of a pain as it took much longer to get rid of. And yes, JTree, it does snow some in Montana haha. Actually, the winters have gotten pretty mild over the years. I'm waiting for the snow...

    Hello all! My name is Don, and I'm from Montana. I've been an avid runner for several years now, but have only recently (the last 2 months) gotten into minimalist and barefoot running. After a spring and summer of stress fractures and nasty plantar fasciitis, as well as new hip and knee aches...
