      Hello, I would like to know if you could create a Texas - Houston chapter? There is currently Austin & Dallas listed. Out of my 7 months running a couple of trails in Houston I have not seen any barefooters and only 2 minimal shoe runners. Thank you in advance.

        My message was too long to post here, so I messaged you privately.

      Hello Barefoot TJ

      My name is Harry and I am a student at the University of Sheffield. On the 12th June, I will be completing a barefoot 10km run in aid of the charity Kit4Kenya. I decided to organise this barefoot run as it ties in with the children we are raising money for in Kenya.

      I'm aware I don't have a lot of time but if you (or anyone else) have any advice for training etc. please get in touch.

      Hello, my name is Katelin Stecz. I go to the University of Miami where I am currently taking a journalism course. The topic for my final paper is the barefoot running community in Miami. Do you know anyone or can you point me in the direction of someone who runs barefoot in the Miami-Dade area?

        You are welcome to join the Florida-Miami Chapter and post to anyone who is willing to respond. That chapter has not been very active as of late. Good luck! -TJ

      Hey TJ, I`m new here...stumbled across some of your posts on Morton`s Neuoma. Sounds like you`ve been through it all and know a lot about it. Been dealing with a bad case in my right foot for 2 years and I`m currently on a wait list for surgery...but really considering going down to the states (I`m from Canada) to try radio ablation or cryoablation. .I was just curious what advice you might have for me?

        Also developing similar symptoms in my other foot...how can I stop it from becoming a full blown neuroma? Seems like I've tried everyting. Unfotunately my job is walking on concrete all day everyday....should I consider a desk job?

        Although I did edit a barefoot running book long ago, I feel I would not be able to give the appropriate amount of attention to editing another book at this time as I have no spare time left to make a commitment. Continued...

        But please do feel free to contact Barefoot Ken Bob Saxton, guru who wrote the book Barefoot Running Step By Step at BarefootKenBob@TheBarefootRunners.org. I'm sure he should be able to direct you to the right resources. You could also try Jason Robillard, authored 3 barefoot running books, through messaging him on Facebook.

        Good luck! Let us know once you have it published.

      Thank you for the confirmation of my account on here, and how many years have you been a barefoot runner?

      I think the BRS logo is just perfect for a onesie. :)

        Will try to add one soon, so terribly busy right now, or you can feel free to add one yourself to the store. Right-click on the logo anywhere to grab the one you like.

        Be sure to share a pic of the little one wearing the little onesie with us. I know the members would love to see how cute your baby is in it.

      Sad news, Due to medical conditions, "petit pied" from Belgium Wallonie chapter announce his resignation for running and for president chapter.

      If you got some information concerning how to proceed, I'm interested on endorsing the fonctions.

      Thanks in advance

    My Posterity Footprint
    I leave my footprint for you to see
    the damage that shoes did to me.
    My foot is no longer nice and wide
    but narrow and cramped in shoes they hide.
    No longer are my feet healthy and free
    but diseased and sick, they bother me.
    Take this as a lesson, so you may too
    not be fooled into thinking shoes rule.
    This is what society did to me.
    I leave my footprint for the world to see. ~me

  • It's okay. A lot of people on the forums don't know that I actually can't run anymore, not since 2012. I took my last run in...
