    Looking for minimal shoes that are actually minimal...

    Hello all, I am looking for some shoe recommendations if anyone has them. Way back in 2011 I bought some of the original ZEM 360 Ninja's and I loved them, even if they looked goofy. They're basically a thin sock with like 2mm of foam and 4mm of rubber on the bottom, and flexible enough that if I...

    I'm back!

    So mileage reporting means talk about whatever I've been up to since the last time you guys heard from me right? I thought so. So I don't know if anyone remembers or cares, but I did run Cross Country barefoot/minimal this past year, after a last minute decision in august to join the team. I...

    Avatar/Profile picture or whatever

    I was trying to update my picture, but I can't seem to get the new picture up. I deleted the old picture, but then when I try to add the new one, the old one just came back up.

    The Running Barefoot

    Is Ken Bob's site down? I can't find any working links, and its not coming up on google. I was going to send my sister a link, because she's off at college trying to learn how to run in her zems. (I'm of course telling her she needs to do barefoot first. Whether she listens or not is another...

    TOFP in XC (I'm blaming sprinting)

    So I am actually managing to run high school Cross-Country this year (my senior year). Our state mandates footwear for races, so I've been running in my huaraches, and will start running in my zems whenever the heck they get here. In case you don't know I've been running barefoot since about...

    Goals for the summer

    So I'm planning on hiking Mt. Elbert (highest peak in Colorado) barefoot this summer. Only problem is its in two weeks. And I haven't really been running barefoot. I still have a reasonable amount of skin down there, and I did a six mile hike like a month ago with my family, but this is a...

    Looking for an old post

    This probably isn't the right forum, but whatever. I'm looking for an old thread where one of our members who was originally flat footed, posted pictures of the development of his arch from barefoot running. Made the pics using paint or something. Anyone remember what I'm talking about? I can't...

    Transition from BF to Minimal?

    Hey, guys, I'm back, haha. Been gone since.... november or something like that? I didn't run much over the winter at all, and I'm just trying to get back into shape for the summer now. I've been running barefoot for almost a year now, and I'm not having any real problems with it, aside from...

    Christmas Presents

    My parents got me some Injinji socks, which I wasn't even expecting! I guess they went to a running store, looking at minimal stuff (they don't actually know the terms or brands, but they understand that I like to wear as little shoe as possible), and they were trying to find some toe socks for...

    Member Blog of the Week - So I've been wondering... By Danjo

    Member Blog of the Week So I've been wondering... (prepare for rambling) By Danjo ...do we even have to be in shape to run barefoot? I mean I'm not saying that anyone would have to be in shape before they went running, that doesn't even make sense, but do we have to be in shape to go out and...

    that first paragraph is totally my dream life. Well, maybe not necessarily the chickens, but building your own house up in Colorado, thats just awesome. Major respect. I also definitely agree about obstacle course running, that kind of thing is really fun. Too bad you couldn't do it barefoot, I...

    Bigfoot 50K By John Yohe

    Bigfoot 50KBy John YoheHere we are in hilly Ohio. I keep thinking Ohio is just like Michigan, except without the cool Upper Peninsula, but on my drive down (or, over and down, I-80 to I-77), entering Salt Fork State Park, I was reminded of how hilly Ohio is, much more than the parts of Michigan...

    ...they had a whole race dedicated to stomper and he didn't show up? Haha. Good job on the race, especially for being in less than your best shape. Also congrats on being the only guy out there in Vibrams and winning the free pair. I like your race reports, it makes me feel like I'm out there...

    70 miles a week? Respect. I did that one time and it beat the heck out of me. It'll be years before I get back up there for real.

    Article: Detroit Marathon By John "StJohnTheGambler" Yohe

    Gotta love just barely breaking through your goal. Good job, especially a week after your half. I gotta say, I really enjoy your race reports. How do you always manage to find the person with the beeping watch? And any word on who the other barefooter was?

    Blood Blisters

    So I know we all pretty much agree that its best to drain regular blisters, but whats the best way to deal with blood blisters? I'm not really sure how I got one, it just seemed to appear in the middle of my run. I guess I must have just stepped on something, but I can't remember stepping on...
