Why would we own shoes if we run BF?

Not exactly for the BF runners

That is for the minimalist runners...you know how its goes....a few pairs of vff, some sandals, trail gloves, aqua socks, vivo etc!!
 
I defiantly have more shoes

I defiantly have more shoes then ever before.

I keep trying new ones thinking the next shoe will be perfect, but it never works out.

My family has given me a big blue bin for all my failed shoes.

I need to post a failed shoe photo someday.

2. A podiatrist sits next to you on the bus and you change seats.

I don't know why, but this one hit my funny bone. :D

Uhhh... Hello?? New Icon?? Where are you?? Don't make me look like a fool. Edit: There you are on both posts now. What the heck. Sorry my fellow barefooters, I'm still a little new to working my way around these forums. :~

What size do you wear?!! ;o)

My foot has changed. I used to feel comfortable in a 9.5/10 after rehabilitating my feet prefer 11.

Another sign you are a bfr. your old shoes do not fit

Well I'm a 10 1/2, but a 42-43 in Vibrams so if you wanna , recycle, renew, reuse, lemme know! ;o)

Does this site have a "for sale/wanted" section? I've be interested in some of the shoes Barefooting Bob's wife makes and something besides my VFFs just to check out all the "flavors" available when I'm not "feet streakin"...

I also find my feet no longer

I also find my feet no longer seem to fit in my old shoes. Kind of strange that they feel longer as I thought if anything it would heighten my arch and shorten the foot. I vaguely remember reading about how Alan Webb used to be flat-footed and a size 11, and after barefoot drills he went down a 9.
 
I have a high arch and maybe

I have a high arch and maybe it has relaxed now that I do not use arch support, or may be my toes have straightened. I think newbies should take a foot print and put it away for future reference.

Sorry I can not part with the shoes:)
 
Jonny, you can add your for

Jonny, you can add your for sale items to the Gear & Footwear forum. As long as you're not in business, then it's perfectly fine. BTW, I have a pair of size 41, men's red and gray Bikilas, only worn three times for very short, short runs. I'll pay shipping and only charge $60. Email me at [email protected]. ;-)

Good to know, thanks!

I actually have a pair of blue and white Bikilas in 43, but it looks like I may need a 42 in the lace ups. the construction across the top, under the strap is tight on my 43s, but they losten up when I run and my right foot doesn't quite fit snug in them, so I pretty much only wear them casually and run in my Komodos. If they were 42s and lace ups, I'd most likely take you up on that. I'll keep an ear out for anyone who wears a 41 and in the market.

Thanks!
