    Best barefoot trail 'shoe'?

     I just ran the Razorback in I just ran the Razorback in VFF Bikilas. There was plenty of grip, they were great over the rough terrain and solid in the thick mud. I would highly recommend them. There is plenty of "feel" and just enough protection. There is an interesting shoe coming out in...

    ANK Review By Jimmy Hart (Please submit your impressions in a post following this story.)

    Hi Jimmy, These don't appear to be pretending to be VFFs so they would not be fakes. I think a bit of healthy competition is good for everyone. I have some real Vibrams and some "fake" ones too, the fake ones never claimed to be VFFs mind you, just a lot cheaper. I have done well over 1000km...

    Screw the Shoes

    Hi Nature Runner,I really Hi Nature Runner, I really wish I could run on the trails around here totally BF. Reading the threads from the US makes me wonder if it is just that the trails around here are made of really gnarly rocks and such, or it is just that I have soft feet. I swear there...

    ITBand, crap!

     @BF WendyBird,How did the @BF WendyBird, How did the foam roller go for you? I bought one for the same reasons and it has been a godsend. In every way I have the foam roller and BF running to thank for curing my ITB. I really hope you have had success in getting rid of the pain. Cozzie

    Screw the Shoes

     Hey TJ,I think the Hey TJ, I think the difference is that running totally BF enforces correct form. Every stride we take we have to be aware of protecting our feet. So when we protect our feet then it might follow that the kinetics through the whole action are less likely to cause injury or...
