    Thanks... yeah... I was Thanks... yeah... I was staggering after I stopped running and started walking though. Took a while for the legs to adapt to walking again. But other than muscle tightness I was doing quite well really. There were many others in far worse shape without a doubt... So...

    Altras

    I just wear the front strap I just wear the front strap ULTRA loose and have no problem with rubbing. If you do snug it up though it would be a problem for sure. I like running in my Adam's without any insoles and I use the flat insoles for walking in them. I'm quite pleased with them so far.

    Sorry to hear about the Sorry to hear about the setback Nick. I keep that front strap VERY loose... In fact, I set them at loose and then back them off another 1/4" inch looser yet. :-) I like them a lot. I use the flat insert for walking in them and no inserts for running.

    Barefoot Walker from Iowa has joined

    I must say... the barefoot on I must say... the barefoot on snow thing doesn't hold much interest to me. I see the value in barefoot running... I don't see the value of barefoot running on snow... I do see the value of staying warm and cozy when there's snow on the ground though. :-)
