  1. Flexor hallucis longis tendonitis pain

    I sometimes get some pain before I am warmed up in the inside of my foot just behind my big toe joint. After a little research I think it is Flexor Hallucis Tendonitis (but mild). Any suggestions on how to get rid of this?

  2. Increasing mileage

    I have been barefoot running since 1st April 2017, so nearly 14 months into it. Before that a short time in Vibrams and before that a long time in very maximalist trainers. I have made steady progress. It took a few months to be able to run more than 3 or 4 miles but I got there. By the end of...

  3. Running on gravel barefoot - "Romancing the stones" - as Ken Bob suggests

    Ken Bob Saxton (Barefoot Ken Bob) writes: (page 114 of Barefoot Running Step by Step) emphasis added: 'DRILL 5: ROMANCING THE STONES ...Many "experts" (who are not names Ken Bob) routinely advise new barefooters to head for "barefoot-friendly" terrain like grass or sand .... Unfortunately these...

  4. Xero DIY Sandals

    I have recently bought the Xero DIY sandal kit. Does anyone else wear these for walking or running? I don't intend to ever run in these (other than if I have to run for the bus) just walk in them. I find them a bit loose when tied on, with my foot easily slipping backwards and forwards or off...

  5. Barefoot Running on gravel and fast

    After just under 6 months barefoot running I have ran a half marathon barefoot. Boom! One thing which slowed me down in the half marathon was when the ground felt rough. The experts recommend practicing running on gravel. I want to do this. At the moment I can walk on a gravelly, stony path...

  7. Barefoot running technique / being gentle on the skin

    I ran 4 miles barefoot on Friday no problem. On Sunday I ran slightly further along the same route but got 2 cuts in the usual places (top of the balls of the feet, towards the toes, in the middle), the reason being, I am sure, is that I went for a barefoot walk to the gym on Saturday (1.5...

  8. Previous achilles tendonosis (insertional)

    I got achilles tendonosis running in very well cushioned shoes. To cut a long story short, it is ok as long as I keep away from speed work and stick to easy jogging (and gradually built up). A physiotherapist told me to switch to forefoot running (in trainers) but I couldn't manage it. I asked...

  9. Protecting the TOP of your feet from spikes at a track

    At some point I plan to do a track session (too much of a beginner to do that right now; that's an as I aside). It has pointed out that this could be risky if others are wearing spikes. What could be useful is some kind of contraption that protects the TOP of your feet from spikes but allows...

  10. How long does it take for your skin to harden up?

    I can currently run a few miles barefoot every other day. How long will it take my skin to harden up to be able to run, say, 7 or 8 miles every other day? Thanks in anticipation.
