    Hello from the Netherlands

    Welcome!! I too experienced a lot of pain and injuries when I ran shod, but since going all-natural, I have found a reduction of both pain and injury. Good job on your accomplishments! There are a lot of good people here and we are looking forward to getting to know you. sleepnheat

    Healthy feet = healthy bodies

    I am not sure if this resource has been shared in the past, but it is a good reminder nevertheless. Like many of you, I have not taken good care of my feet for most of my life. Along with a good diet, mental health, and general self-care, I am also focusing on the health of my feet. In my...

    Barefoot Family Fun

    TJ, she went on a short barefoot walk with me this am! Unprompted too! We were about to step outside to walk around the property to look at the flowers and she glanced down at my bare feet and said something along the line of "baby steps..." and took off her socks! Afterward, she asked me to get...

    Barefoot Family Fun

    No, she has yet to venture out of the home with anything less then her regular sneakers. In the home, it's usually just socks. But, she did try on a pair of my min shoes tonight and commented on how comfortable they were when walking around the house. She has been in so much pain recently, I...

    Barefoot Family Fun

    My wife slowly warming up to the idea, but she is one who can't stand feeling any debris or texture on the bottom of her feet. Even at home, she always has socks on at least. My two teenage kids really enjoyed it and were even checking out my minimalist shoes today. They are very curious about...

    Barefoot Family Fun

    It was less about barefoot running and more about the benefits of being barefoot outdoors, more specifically, grounding. The studies on the health benefits really caught the family's attention, especially my wife who has chronic back pain. But it certainly prompted some excellent conversation on...

    Barefoot Family Fun

    I just wanted to share a fun moment I had with the family this evening during our afternoon walk. We went on our evening stroll down our dirt road, taking our time walking/running a mile. They have been teasing me for a while now, but after I shared a documentary on the benefits last night, and...

    Barefoot snow shoveling

    No pictures, but also no neighbors. I love being out in the snow barefoot! My kids think I am crazy, but up here in northern VT, we have snow on the ground about 5 months a year.

    New barefooter here!

    I am taking things slow, for sure! Not only regarding the running aspect, but also the transition to barefoot. Here in northern VT, we are just getting into our winter season with temps typically below freezing and a lot of snow/ice on the ground. I spend all of my time at home barefoot, which...

    The Primal Blueprint

    I just recently read his book "Primal Endurance". I have to keep my carbs low to regulate my sugars anyway, so works for me! It's also where I learned all of the advantages to barefoot running! Sent from my Alcatel_5056O using Tapatalk

    April 1 - April 30 2017 Barefoot Autism Challenge

    I would definitely take part in this! My oldest son is autistic, so I am kinda partial to the cause! Sounds like a great way to raise awareness! Good idea Tyler!

    New barefooter here!

    I just wanted to pop in and introduce myself. I am a married father of three, EMT/Firefighter, and live in northern Vermont. I used to run many years ago, but I am just now returning after a recent kidney disease diagnosis has motivated me to lose some weight. In my effort to take care of my...
