    Barefoot runners make local news!!!

    Hey chaser this is William. I've only done village creek state park. I can walk those trails but they were harsh on my feet when I tried to run it. I think because normally I just run barefoot at the Hike and Bike trail in Beaumont on smooth concrete. I've done some harsher stuff during...

    I went to the tractor supply I went to the tractor supply store and bought some tractor belt and used a hole puncher used for leather to make the holes. They have been pretty sturdy and I've had them for 2 years or so.

    Minimalist to Barefoot Convert Needs Advice

    Well I'd build up the miles Well I'd build up the miles first BF. Not sure the longest distance you've run BF but it sounds like you experienced what we all have when we first took off our shoes and went natural. But along the way of building up that mileage I'd encounter blood blisters...

    Long distance runners...do you use the 5min/1min run/walk??

    I have a friend who practices I have a friend who practices this and has had pretty good luck with it. I think he told me his best was a 4:30 marathon but he really picks it up after the walk. I've seen some other people do it too. They will be running past me then walk then after awhile run...

    My first barefoot 5k race

    Good job on your first BF Good job on your first BF race. I don't get why people would be like that. That is unusual. Normally people look at it as adding a degree of difficulty. I could understand if you were in roller blades doing the 5k but barefoot and cheating thats ridiculous.

    First BF Half Marathon

    After advice from my fellow barefoot runners on here I decided to go full BF for this half marathon. Before I did this race I wasn't sure if I should go barefoot as I wasn't sure about the course. If I'm not familiar with a route I'll wear my huaraches. I was really planning on PRing for this...

    Thinking of running my first half marathon barefoot

    Never heard of bucket Never heard of bucket training I might try it and try to run in different terrain to toughen my feet. Everytime I see some loose gravel I just do my best to avoid it. I tried BF on a trail and a lot of different things would make me go oww so I ended up just walking it...

    Thinking of running my first half marathon barefoot

    I was an off and on barefoot runner. But I've been running regularly for the past 6 months either barefoot or in huaraches. The place where I train is basically a 3.5 mile loop that is mostly smooth concrete. I've been trying to up my mileage barefoot so I went from 7 to 9 to 10 which is my...

    Dealing with Rude people

    I was on one of my normal runs at this park, which I run barefoot at. Haven't had any issues with people other than weird looks. But as I was finishing up my run. I ran past these two walkers and as I passed them one of them shouted out at me, "Get some Shoes!". Don't think she meant it in a...

     First exposure to this shoe First exposure to this shoe after coming back to this forum and I'm impressed. Plus for only 30 dollars seems like cheaper than what I spent on making my huaraches. Might pick myself up a pair to run in.

    1st 5k fun run in Huaraches.

    After hearing about the haters regarding barefoot running I was a bit apprehensive about trying my huaraches during an actual race after hearing about what happened to Jimmy Heart. But the course was around an elementary's school so it was a grass field and felt like what better way to use them...
