    Tried...and failed.

    This past Friday, I had a group of people from work ask me to come for a trail run with them. I was excited to try out some new running 'scenery' and give a BF trail run a shot. It was gorgeous outside. 60's, sunny, and with just enough wind to keep clothing from getting soggy. Conditions were...

    European Sizing vs. American

    Has anyone else a huge discrepancy between their European size and what's comfortable in 'American' shoes? I wear a 40 in VFFs (European sized) and when I looked up the conversion, it says I should be wearing an 7.5 in American sizes. I know I have small feet for a male but there isn't a...

Well, last night, karma caught up with me. I was approximately 2 miles into my run when all of a...

    I am not alone!

    Since joining this forum (thanks to the guidance of TJ, Alejandro, and some others) I have managed to up my daily BF to distance to 3 miles. Awesome! Yesterday, as I was struggling through a particulary rough stretch of road, I saw a fellow BFer headed towards me. As we passed, he said, "So...

    A minimalist casual dress shoe?

    In my desperate search to find something minimalist yet still appropriate for work (I'm a teacher.), I came acrosse these on the Zappos site and I'm itching to give them a try. They look a little narrow in the toebox but I'm willing to bet they'll stretch right out with just a little bit of...

    Question about BF running...

    I'm a complete newbie to these forums and BF running in general. I started out a couple of weeks ago by taking the insoles out of my Reebok Realflex and ran with no issues. Check! After giving that a week, I went out and bought myself a pair of the Bikilas. I get a little pain when I run in...
