    Comment by 'steveschroederart' in 'Questions regarding the Biomechanics of Running'

    Ben- I did review your questions and will reply. I'd also like to suggest a different view to your inquiry. What you are asking seems to be the BIG question about barefoot vs shoes running. Yet the whole question is basically of mute-point. Be it barefoot or shoes; the question is: Was the human...

    Barefoot - Beautiful Commotion

    Odd, isn't it . . . come across someone after or even while they are running/jogging/walking and ask them: "So how goes/went the run," and almost without fail they glance at a watch, reciting a displayed digital time/distance. Odd, isn't it . . . ? When the question is posed to me, I respond...

    Comment by 'steveschroederart' in 'Beginning Barefoot'

    Thank You! I'm not against education or learning from others . . . yet, to often we fear just taking the time and enjoying the fun in figuring things out for ourselves. Barefoot is more about finding your natural form innate to you, than trying to copy others. Smiles to your day- Steve

    Beginning Barefoot

    About 5 years ago: I simply took off my shoes and decided to remember how to walk (then jog) barefoot. Unlike many, I’ve still never read “Born To Run” consider the catalyst for modern minimalist/barefoot running. As an avid runner of nearly 40 years I had accumulated the persistent leg/knee...

    Comment by 'steveschroederart' in 'Breaking My Shoe Addiction'

    THANK YOU!!! Often I'd wondered if I was a lone voice talking about running (jogging) as an EMOTION, rather than this obsession of time and distance. Barefoot it seemed was/is trying to gain acceptance by immersing itself into the same nonsense of racing, timing and logging miles, as running as...

    Stop Bullying Nature

    * Below is a prose piece I wrote on my website http://www.runitbare.com/ .............................. Stop Bullying Nature When did running become a stupid endeavor? When did runners (or other natural trail users) decide that “natural trails” need to be modified in such a way that they are...

    Iowa PBS segment on Barefoot Running

    Thought I'd share a link to Iowa PBS on a small feature they did about barefoot running. Truthfully I wasn't even sure how they found me, however through emails with the PBS Iowa Outdoors Producer we finally met and I spoke of what barefoot running/jogging/walking means to me. Thought I'd...

    a conversation with shoes . . .

    thus - they spoke . . . (through the voice-box of its human servant) thou are too wear shoes, thou are too lace upon your feet burdens of synthetic leathers and toxic plastics: toxins, molded in far away lands by faceless servants to un-controlled consumerism. thou are too wear shoes, thou...

    barefoot . . . is YOU

    BAREFOOT encourages you to remember what we are born with, this innateness, a simple beauty, a clean appreciation for what our design evolved as – to what our body/mind is, to what we are capable of doing . . . "we tend to be a society of steps and plans summaries outlines objectives volumes...

    run to the rhythm of voices in my head . . .

    I wrote this many years ago... and then last year overlay-ed it onto a photo of mine. I decided to post it here as a POSITIVE feedback to "bare as running" comment in my earlier post: barefoot . . . re-thought. My take is a bit different, yet along the same vein. Run for the beauty of the run as...

    barefoot . . . RISE AGAINST sole-drones

    “Wear Shoes,” is usually the comment mentioned – as, if barefoot was an issue? walking/running/living - barefoot: “how dare they take-off their shoes,” recite [those] who Boardrooms remind them of how their mortgages are paid. “SHOE-them, numb their senses,” [they]: repeat repeat repeat...

    barefoot . . . re-thought

    beautifully stated!! with appreciation and respect towards: technique, training, times - the strength {and future growth of barefoot} lies not in rehashing the structured realm of commercialized running. instead, I believe that EMOTIONS, EXPERIENCES, ENERGY ~ the subtle regenerating of life...

    Barefoot Running may be hard for those over 30.

    I'm 52, and started running barefoot about 3 years ago. Other than my little injury I wrote a blog about {blame the yoga pants} not only do I run pain-free, but most of my back issues have disappeared. Just took my shoes off - and let my body REMEMBER how to walk, then run barefoot { AND YES -...

    thanks David - we tend to live a society where we are TAUGHT that everything needs to be instant.... and its simply not true. be they Minimal shoes or regular - they simply remove the touch of skin to nature. I'm NOT a medically trained person, nor expert in any fashion - yet, it has appeared to...
