    High Collapsible Arch and TFP

    Ah, I see the difference now. I went to my chiropractor yesterday and he explained the difference a bit. He knows some to those techniques, but isn't quite certified yet. He was surprised at whole 'jammed' my feet were, but after a good adjustment they feel a lot better and freer. Can you...

    High Collapsible Arch and TFP

    Thanks- that's actually great news! (How often do you hear someone say getting shinsplints is great news?) My chiropractor is actually a barefoot runner who does the 'trigger point therapy' thing, which I think is what you're talking about. (I try to follow all the terminology... I wiki'd...

    High Collapsible Arch and TFP

    So after dealing with TMTS I took a good month off of running, and gave in to my (non-BFR-supporting) podiatrist's recommendation to get some arch supports. I figure they might give my feet some time to rest, but I plan to ditch them pretty soon. (I've read more than enough about how they...

    Unicycles and Good Body Mechanics?

    Ok, so I'm loving BFR. It's been great for my knees, which have not been happy since I got Osgood Schlatter's disease. (If you don't know, OS basically means my bones grew too fast during adolescence.) Ten or so years ago I took up unicycling more or less just because I'm a fan of doing odd...

    Barefoot Walking

    Thinking more about it, I guess my question is more basic. What is good barefoot walking form? I've heard arguments for both heel strike and forefoot.

    Barefoot Walking

    I'm really enjoying running bf and minimal, but I haven't quite gotten the hang of bf walking. I've been running with my wife how is new to running in general, doing run walk run stuff. The running is fine for me, but during the walk portion she likes to walk quickly, which just doesn't work...

    Spotting other Barefooters

    So I dropped my girls off at day care the other day and on the drive back I saw a man and a woman running, both wearing VFFs. I don't know anybody else in the physical world who runs bf or minimal, so my first thought was that I should pull over and introduce myself. But then I thought that...

    Eddie Izzard takes the Olympic Torch!

    Ok, I know "TMTS" but what is "OTT"?

    Eddie Izzard takes the Olympic Torch!

    That's weird how the link doesn't work, but you're right. If you just add the ! at the end it will work.

    Eddie Izzard takes the Olympic Torch!

    And after posting this I realized that this is perhaps the third time I've posted something to do with cross dressing... Really, I'm not into that- not that there's anything wrong with it.

    Eddie Izzard takes the Olympic Torch!

    Hey All- I don't know if there's been any talk of Izzard on this site, but he started running marathons all of a sudden and fairly recently took up barefoot running. He'll be carrying the Olympic Torch for a stretch on it's way to London. I don't know whether or not he'll be barefoot though...

    Bouncer: "sir...SIR!" But Not What You Think!

    Aha! There are others who have found barefooting makes wearing heels easier! I knew I couldn't be alone!

    Is this the tattoo you get after you give up on barefooting?

    Barefooting and High Heels?

    No, it's not exactly a habit... although I did study musical theatre in college. Oh, and just because I'm sure you'd all like the clarification, when you asked about shaving you probably just meant my beard. When I say I shaved, I meant my legs, pits, and chest (and nothing else!) That's what...

    Barefooting and High Heels?

    Indeed I did! If I'm going to do it, I might as well go all out.
