    Dont you worry about stepping on glass ?

    I think I'm the first one on here to recommend the Hemp Foot Protector :) I have another proprietary method... when I come in from a run my little pekingese comes over and licks my feet, and then i rub her fur with my feet... does wonders for them, even better than making fists in the carpet :)

    Some marketing type would probably find a way to call those barefoot shoes... but only on the moon of course :)

    At last....

    After a season of barefoot running I've discovered that I just cannot run in the minimalist gear that I own :eek: With the cooler wet weather I've tried to use my Vibram Seeya's and they actually hurt my feet, same with a pair of Nike Free I was running in a year ago. Well, I decided to take...

    Toe spread - photo comparison

    I can't believe you actually took a picture of your foot for comparison, way more forethought than I give this stuff :) I've noticed the same effect however, my big toe has an even wider spread although I can't prove it :p

    Blood blister in odd spot

    Thank you Mark, appreciate the response! And yes, I try to run at lunch usually, so I have enough light to see things in my way :)

    Blood blister in odd spot

    Its OK TJ, I'm fine, once I realized what it was I felt so good I went out and ran 5 miles today, practically froze my poor hands off the first couple miles but its always great to have dry sidewalks :)

    Blood blister in odd spot

    Funny how the brain works sometime.... as I woke up this morning I had a sudden realization about this problem... ironic too because I actually posted about the event elsewhere but for some reason it didn't connect with this.... what I realized is this weird looking blood blister/bruise is from...

    Blood blister in odd spot

    My right foot has always been my nemesis, its had a variety of issues since I started running again a year or so ago. I've always written most problems off as TMTS, but I have one now that has me thinking about seeing a doctor... tell me if I'm being paranoid: I have a blood blister, or I...

    Sea Pines dropping seeds, ouch.

    No kidding, there are some trees in my neighborhood that drop seed pods similar to those also, I came down on one once but the reaction times are quick and it was in the arch area so not too bad, its even worse now because lots of leaves have fallen and hidden the damn things from view :( I tend...

    Foot Hygiene

    Its funny, with this fall weather, and it being damper out, I'm finding my feet get less dirty, course unlike some of the packs of BF-runners around here I stay away from the muddy trails :rolleyes:

    Ssshhhhhh...

    Last winter I resorted to running on a treadmill in the gym some, but I seriously HATE doing so, there's some pricey gym not too far off with an indoor running track, that seems like the better idea.

    Hydroskin socks

    Hmmm, so you quit using them just because of the slippage? Do you remember the exact model name? Was it that they felt like they were slipping off? Thanks Jen!

    Hydroskin socks

    I was actually considering the Zem 360, they are a bit cheaper, have you tried those?

    Hydroskin socks

    Hmm, Sealskinz look just like regular socks and I would expect those to fall apart REAL fast, but these neoprene things should be a bit tougher I'd think. I figure if you treat them like a shod person they will fall apart fast, but with correct barefoot technique (minimal abrasion) they should...

    Hydroskin socks

    Anyone ever try running in these? I've been out barefoot a couple times in the last week in the cold and wet and its just gonna get worse. I have some VFF's and Merrill Trailgloves and I find they actually make my feet sore. These socks look like a way to keep my feet warm while doing nothing to...
