  1. Barefoot wedding

    In the SBL, we always say to not ask in advance because it's much more likely to get a no if you ask in advance. I'd go with the knowledge that women usually take their shoes off at wedding receptions, and so you will be fine too, as long as you're otherwise clean and respectable looking.
  2. Barefoot wedding

    Also the venue could have rules, or claim to have rules. If you're going barefoot and they claim health code or something, have the health department letter with you for your state. If they claim to have a rule for the venue, ask to talk to the manager, and if they really do, have shoes in your...
  3. Barefoot wedding

    I'm always barefoot, so I'd be barefoot, even if she hadn't said anything. I don't know how much you're usually barefoot. I can't imagine you being barefoot being embarrassing, unless the tops of your feet or your toenails are dirty. If you're worried about someone asking why you're barefoot...
  4. Women's barefoot marathon world record

    It also changes the gait quite a bit. In socks you always have to worry about the sock staying in place and your foot sliding relative to the ground. It's also possible to run through the sock in something as long as a marathon. That would be quite distracting, going from wearing socks to...
  5. A bruised heel is ruining my running ...

    I use the Naboso standing mat when I work. The founder of Naboso has some really useful videos on YouTube all about feet and foot health. Look her up, Dr. Emily Splichal.

  7. Hot roads and split calluses

    I'm not a runner but I'm always barefoot and I live in Israel where the sun and heat can be brutal. I've noticed that heat tends to be cumulative. If I'm wearing long pants and have already been walking on hot surfaces, I need to get to cooler surfaces faster and maintain less contact with the...
  8. Dealing with rocks

    I find that when my feet are tighter, everything becomes more of an issue. I would try taking one of those rocks and standing on it for about 30s, using the right amount of weight for the spot you're pushing on. Dr. Emily Splichal (I believe she's a member here) recommends using push in place...
  9. are you barefooters or barefoot runners?

    Barefooter. Have a lot more healing and strengthening to do before I can even think of running.
  10. Diet to grow cushion tissue in the soles?

    I've been wondering about this too. One thing I've noticed is that when my feet are super tense I feel the bones more. To be specific, when my metatarsal heads and my heel pull towards each other. I have found massage to be helpful, where I stand on some massage balls and pull the heel and...
  11. Beginning of osteoarthritis in ankle and short achilles

    Got this diagnosis today. I'm only 29, female. Sprained this ankle a couple times as a kid. Is this reversible? What can I do for it? I started going barefoot 6 months ago. I don't run yet, it's one of my barefooting goals. I go barefoot pretty much everywhere. I will wear my 4mm huaraches in...
  12. Current running and recovery

    What do you do? How far do you run, how many days, what do you do to recover?
  13. Hello from Israel

    As a kid, I always wore sneakers tied very tightly. The older I got the more I hated running. As a teenager I started to dislike walking. In college, I somewhat liked walking on the beach, probably because I was barefoot. A couple of years ago, I started walking more because I moved to Israel...
