    Barefoot in cold weather for short periods.

    Nobody wants to see this! It looks worse than it is. The blister was spectacular and popped on its own. Now it's just a deep bruise under the thick pad skin. My concern is that it happened to this one toe and I had no other problems on either foot. So what's going on that made this toe so...

    Barefoot in cold weather for short periods.

    Between shoveling my driveway and walking in snow, I overdid it and got frostbite on ONE TOE. Embarrassing.

    Barefoot in cold weather for short periods.

    1.35 Mi on 3" of snow at 19°F with wind chill at 9°F. It's fun to do things that others think impossible.

    Barefoot in cold weather for short periods.

    25°F is my self-imposed limit for park walks. As long as my hands, head and core are warm, my feet are fine for an hour or so. We had a freaky cold front last winter that brought the air temp down from pleasant 40s to 12°F in a couple of hours with a howling wind that took the wind chill to...

    I've hiked in them and they were fine. I don't run trails so can't report on that.

    Xero Shoes - Day Hiker Fusion

    Full disclosure – I don’t wear shoes very often. I do wear shoes if it’s very cold and I didn’t have warm minimalist hiking shoes. So, when I won the December 2023 giveaway contest for a pair of Xero shoes, I looked for something that would be warm but still breathable, not waterproof. The Day...

    BRS's Network Analytics Over the Years

    Joe DeRuvo took off his shoes while waiting for a planned surgery due to the pain from his bunions. He noticed immediate improvement, put off the surgery, and has rarely worn shoes for twenty years. He wears shoes only when necessary for protection (welding) or to avoid inconveniencing others...

    Comment by 'Clark' in 'It's really cold'

    I do find that if I can keep my core, head and hands warm, my feet are fine. I'm sure there's a limit to this.

    Winter Challenge - Links and Rules

    We count the wind chill or air temp? Either way, it's 1km at a new low for me.

    It's really cold

    OK, I had to try. Bundled up against the wind and walked up and down my street so that I'd never be more than 200 yds from my house. Got .63 miles, (about 1 km) and my feet feel fine. Wind cut through my layers like a knife. Air temp is 12°F; wind chill is -5°F. Not my smartest move, but...

    It's cold!

    Tonight would be a great opportunity for a new personal best low temp barefoot walk. It would also be a good night for hot tea and a book and no risk of frostbite.

    Planet Fitness

    I work in a gym that has a requirement for shoes posted but it's only enforced in certain areas. On cardio equipment, including treadmills, we require closed shoes but sandaled participants will probably not be accosted. In the free weight area, I doubt anyone would say much about bare feet...
