    People's reactions when you run

    Japan apparently uses waste heat from the sewers... Japan is also an island nation, not so much sprawl as the USA, Canada, Russia, etc.. https://www.gov-online.go.jp/eng/publicity/book/hlj/html/202201/202201_10_en.html

    Short question about how to run and walk correctly

    Relax! The soles are where we get information about how we are moving, they are not the only parts of the body involved in walking and running (not even when we're barefoot). I don't worry about trying to force a specific foot landing, as long as it is not uncomfortable while barefoot on rough...

    Was at the dentist's office today . . .

    As far as foot-fetishes. I'm not opposed to people with foot-fetishes... I do agree with T.J. that we should not allow posting about foot-fetishes. Kind of like we would not allow a post describing any person's lusting after another person (or animal), whether it be feet, breasts, or eyeballs...

    Was at the dentist's office today . . .

    I realize I'm coming into this a bit late... Keep in mind folks, that a dentist office is not a public place. So be sure to get permission to photograph in private offices, businesses, etc. What Gordon said, "If you're in a public place, anyone can take your picture without your consent. At...

    The Best Running Books, According to Runners and Coaches

    Born to Run isn't a training book, it's an adventure story. Chris McDougall has repeatedly told folks that he is not a coach, or expert on how to run, or train, barefoot or otherwise. The book is an enjoyable read for anyone, runner, walker, or not. In my book (warning: SHAMEFUL PLUG AHEAD)...

    Traction Seems Far More Consequential Than Cushioning

    http://barefootrunning.com/barefoot-ken-bob-saxton/kenbobisms Looks like 211. But of course much of the "clever" things I think of nowadays, I have already thought of before, so I don't add them as often as I used to. http://barefootrunning.com/barefoot-ken-bob-saxton/kenbobisms

    Traction Seems Far More Consequential Than Cushioning

    KenBobism 148 - Traction control in our automobiles saves wear and tear on the tires, and, in fact, the entire automobile, by reducing excess and wasteful torques and stresses. The senses in our soles do much the same (and more) for our bodies and feet. – Barefoot Ken Bob Saxton...

    Should children be barefoot?

    Yeah, during my first 60 years as a child, of 3 times a nail punctured one of my soles, 2 of those times I was wearing shoes, and the nail went deeper into my foot, because by the time I felt the pointy tip of the nail on my sole, I had already committed my full weight to that foot. The other...

    Toega is the new fitness trend that makes us very uneasy

    I think the sight of bare feet makes them nervous... as in "what are people going to bare next?" If I remember correctly, Barefoot Preston coined the term toe-ga some 15-20 years ago on the old Yahoo Running Barefoot forum. It may have existed prior, but we had not heard of it (other than the...

    Ken Bob's Too Much Fun Tour 2018

    Tyler, How about somewhere near Riverwalk Dog Park? Or another dog park? What dog parks are most convenient for you and others in the area? And also near some walking/running trails. It would be good for Kay (Katin) to run off-leash so he can run a bit more slowly with humans afterward.
