    Wow.. Gorgeous.. I love the lady Janes.. I may make them my new work shoes... even if I don't get them through this contest.. I need to buy a new pair of leather minimalist shoes by spring (since work requires I wear them and I have one pair I am just keeping there and I don't want to keep...

    GIVEAWAY! Lems Minimalist Footwear (your choice!) - Expires Friday, January 31, Noon EST

    the sweet janes look perfect for running AND work.. I love Mary Jane style shoes and I have to wear leather at work- which has limited me to one pair of my minimalist shoes since the rules changed.. since I had just bought 2 pairs that weren't leather upper the week before the change!

    Shoe Advice for my Wife

    Why some minimalist shoes are getting thicker

    I like my merrell's for work and non running, but prefer barefoot or in winter a thinner sole for running.. I have run in my merrell's (started out with them as the alternative to barefoot), but in winter I NEED a shoe - currently using my Vivobarefoot Kali's for that... And I have to wear...

    Minimalist shoes for daily wear?

    I have wondered- no one local carries them, and I go back and forth on ordering without trying on at the prices I saw for the Ryder's.. but I imagine I'll wind up with a pair soon.. I have narrow heels, but wide toes... do you know if they are narrower than the Kali's are? I can wear...

    Shoe Advice for my Wife

    if you make it to A2 let me know.. who said they had the shoes you wanted to try? And did your WIFE find a pair? I'm still looking though running is covered by my vivobarefoot kali's- it's the snow boot thing since I have to work so dang early in the AM's...

    Minimalist shoes for daily wear?

    I love my vivobarefoot kali's, a pair of ocean minded waveseeker flats, merrell pure gloves and 2 pairs of not quite as minimal chooze (yes I still fit in kids sizes as well as women's) for running when not bare, work, and everything else... BUT I have regular winter boots and need to make the...

    running post abdominal surgery?

    I was thinking that.. just a goal for distance, not worrying about speed... worst case I can walk part of it.. I may be doing it with the med director from work and my facility admin too... who I have been encouraging to get going with running (her first 5K practice run was this weekend and...

    running post abdominal surgery?

    I am walking more than that distance during my workday and before I went back to work last week on my own.. but I know me.. if I don't have a race goal I tend to slack at running... even though I enjoy it.. I'll keep the distances short unless I'm training for something.. thus the thought of...

    No barefoot in church

    we're reconstructionist and use the UU church for the high holidays, no tickets required, donations requested.. so space is never a concern- much more than our regular location.. and a good # of our members do the dress in white though they don't wear a traditional kittel on YK...

    Jewish Holidays

    I am so glad my congregation welcomes bare feet.. and on YK most of us ARE barefoot- shoes to and from the building for most of them, but at least inside its barefoot/stockinged feet...

    No barefoot in church

    I am in shock, my shul accept barefoot without question and on Rosh Hashona and Yom Kippur 70% of the congregation is barefoot- shoes are left outside if we so choose and most of us choose. I am not the only one to go barefoot the rest of the year, though I am the only one to leave the building...
