Smiles are the best reaction. I got 2 big ones from another runner who was running loops in the other direction at the park yesterday.
Seems like young women do the most smiling, young men the most commenting. Clearly, this merits another barefoot running study.Smiles are the best reaction.

That is a very satisfying comment! I've just been listening to a book that talks about the Kenyans and it has inspired me in my barefooting!"You look like a Kenyan!"
Running BF in Red Rock Canyon just outside of Las Vegas. Pretty girl is running the opposite direction. I say good morning. She looks at my feet, give me half a head shake and exclaims "Really?" Not in a nice way either. Oh well, I had a nice run.
Same thing whether running or just being barefoot. People either love it or hate it, no real middle ground.Pretty girl is running the opposite direction. I say good morning. She looks at my feet, give me half a head shake and exclaims "Really?" Not in a nice way either.

And you have to admit, it does offer them a silent challenge.Sometimes I think other runners react as though we are mocking them with our ease of running barefoot.
