    First BF Run = Blisters?

    Thanks guys. I keep thinking that the blister was caused by the way I walk more than by how I run. It didn't hurt at all when I ran, but walking was really painful, and I could feel my foot making friction with the ground when I walked, but I didn't know how to prevent it. I guess I could wear...

    First BF Run = Blisters?

    I did my first Couch-to-5K workout completely barefoot today after doing nearly three weeks in VFFs. The running felt awesome, and I didn't have any knee pain or soreness! It was the walking parts that KILLED o_O When I got back I could already tell I had a blister on my left foot, on the...

    Greetings from The Bluegrass State

    Thanks, all! :) I do plan on going barefoot, mostly because the toe pockets on the VFF's are too short for my second-to-last toe and I don't have the money for huaraches yet. It's getting warmer here, so I don't think cold feet will be much of an issue. mmoore: *wave* How are things in the...

    Knee Pain?

    I JUST started running three weeks ago. I started out with VFF Bikilas because I was too chicken to go completely barefoot, but went barefoot a couple of times just for a 1/4 mile or so. Every run I would go out and see if I could tweak my form to be even more natural or efficient, or whatever...

    Dairy - Yes or No or Maybe

    I used to be lactose intolerant, so I hardly ever drank straight milk, and I even had to avoid ice cream, soft cheeses and yogurt (even yogurt!). Then I started buying raw milk from a local grass-only farm and I probably drink two to three glasses of milk a day! o_O I subscribe to the Weston A...

    Greetings from The Bluegrass State

    My name's Amy and I'm a new runner but not new to being barefoot :barefoot: I've spent most of my life barefoot or in flip flops. Even though my dad was a runner and ran the NYC Marathon when I was a kid, I never wanted to run because I hated wearing running shoes and I always ended up with shin...
