    Stinky feet!

    Thanks for the replies everybody! It's getting better. The shoes go on a dryer every day after his runs, and get washed at least once a week. He's been putting the athlete's foot cream on his feet when he doesn't forget. (Teenagers! Argh!) @Noodles - don't worry. His feet don't hurt much at...

    Stinky feet!

    Thanks! We actually have a couple tubes of the cream kicking around - forgot all about it, and never really considered it would work better. Makes sense, though. He scrubbed his feet in the shower with a stiff brush and antibacterial dial gold soap today - noticable improvement. We'll have him...

    Stinky feet!

    So boy #1, 15, has incredibly stinky feet. He's been running cross country, and the only shoes he's worn are xeroshoes sandals or running shoes. He goes barefoot pretty much all the time except for practice and meets. His feet STINK. Like rotten German potato salad. Vinegar-smelling...

    NEW NEW NEW!!! Your Choice Xero Shoes Giveaway Contest! Expires Friday, July 24, 2020, Noon EST

    Pick me! Pick me! In the last month we have purchased 4 pair of xeroshoes and 3 DIY sandal kits at my house. Wife and kids love them! I'm the only one in the house without a pair of shoes from them, and if I am lucky enough to win it will be an agonizing choice to make.

    Barefooting Myths

    LOL at "pounding your feet into submission." I did the same thing. As for surfaces - when I first went bare several years ago I blistered the balls of my feet which taught me to run light. Then they resurfaced my road - they ground up the asphalt and put down "tar and chip" which is exactly...

    Do you notice the Giveaway Contests on the site?

    Good to know! If I had won the Speed Force shoes today, I was going to ask if I could get the size for my 14 year old son, and have him do the review. He's in the summer training program for HS Cross Country, so he'll put a lot more miles on them than I would be. Our DIY sandal kits will be...

    Do you notice the Giveaway Contests on the site?

    I go right to "forums" and check this forum and the gear/footwear forum, and any other forums that look interesting. I usually don't look at the front page stuff. I'm here for the discussion. :happy: I've been checking the current giveaway thread regularly all day, since I'm planning on...

    Little pain in pinky toe

    Can you describe what kind of pain? Surface pain like a hotspot on the outside of your toe, or internal pain like a stress fracture in the bone?

    I can't believe there are no other posts in this thread! I just ordered my daughter a pair of prios, and my wife a pair of HFS. I'm going to order three of the DIY kits for my boys and me as soon as I'm done here.

    $13 water shoes for barefoot running

    Nice! I think I still have a pair of walmart water shoes around here somewhere. I used them to run in the winter, and they worked fine. My wife about gagged everytime I wore them - they're pretty cheesy looking. I've never been one for fashion, though.

    New Barefoot Runner, Looking for help

    What's the current theory on TOFP? (Top of Foot Pain?) Years ago when I was more active here we were just learning about these things - about the time I left it seems like the prevailing theory was it could be stress fractures in the foot bones which were only visible via bone scan. It was...

    Mileage Reporting Week 24 (Jun 8 - Jun 14)

    1.8 ish run last Sunday in Merrels. Roughly 2 (maybe a bit more) barefoot hiking at Hartwick Pines Monday. 2.3 mile run in the Merrels on Wednesday. 3 mile brisk walk/hike today (Sunday) in the Merrels again. Not bad for the first real running in probably a year. Should have had more runs, but...

    What other "conventional wisdom" do you throw out the window?

    Yes! My favorite part: "Add some nice socks to prevent blisters, tie them up good and snug and now you can engage in damaging, inefficient, horrible horizontal braking forces in comfort."

    Shoes for HS Cross Country?

    Quite certain barefoot would be a no-go. Even if it was allowed, I'm not certain he would go for it. He's pretty good compared to a lot of teenagers, but he's still really self conscious of his appearance, and I don't think I could convince him to go barefoot because of the negative attention he...
