    Barefoot in 2021

    I'm definitely looking forward to doing barefoot events next year. Especially with the fact that the pandemic might be coming to an end at some point. What are some of your favorite events to go barefoot at? My favorite would be autism walks and conferences.

    Barefoot Autism Challenge 2021

    So I have been thinking about the Barefoot Autism Challenge for next year and I have some ideas. Weekly challenges for April and maybe the option of prizes for those who do the most, holiday themed challenges, and there's also car decals for anyone who wants one. 5 inches and $5 for each decal...

    Barefoot friendly businesses

    So I found out that a friend of mine has a job at a hippie shop and they said she can work barefoot. In fact all the people who work there go barefoot every chance they can. They even said that customers can be barefoot too. Anyone else know of cool barefoot friendly businesses?
  4. New Barefoot Runner, Looking for help

    Hello, I’m sure people post that title a lot. I, however, am off to a good start. I started with a pair of Xero huaraches and instantly found loud slapping noises. Over-striding from years of shoes of course. Once I got rid of the slapping I now get top of foot pain in the Xeros. I don’t have...

    Finally did a barefoot walk

    It was so nice today I finally got to do a barefoot walk today at my local park. There wasn't much of anyone around so I felt safe. I worked up a good sweat too.

    We'll get through this

    Hey guys. Don't forget, your two bare feet are the best tools for stress relief. You can be barefoot on the grass to ground yourself now that it's spring, the Barefoot Autism Challenge returns soon, and if you work from home, you can be barefoot as often as you can.

    Barefoot hike on Mount Takao in Japan

    After running my first 21 k, back in November, I went on to travel to Japan to enjoy the fall colors and the lovely autumn season. And as usual, I managed to insert a couple of barefoot hikes therein. The first one was in Tokyo, on Takao-san (or Mount Takao). Japanese warmly supportive of...

    Barefoot Autism Challenge 2020

    Two years barefoot running... And my first half-marathon!

    So, last November marked two years since I first started barefoot running... And it was also the occasion of completing my first half-marathon. I did complete in the ridiculous time of 2h45, but part of that misperformance was also due to the course being extremely hilly and demanding. Anyway, I...

    Barefoot TED Talk

    Has anybody given a TED Talk barefoot before? I was encouraged by a Wells Fargo employee to try and do one and I might share my Barefoot Autism Challenge during the TED Talk. Let me know your opinions in the comments.

    Barefoot walk on day off

    I'm off work today so I went on a 2 mile barefoot walk. Might or might not have gotten a blister on the right foot, but it doesn't hurt really.

    A Spartan Race, the Spartan way!

    I mentioned that in a previous post, on the mud run... But eventually, I managed to do a full Spartan sprint race barefoot. I had some apprehensions as the organizers did not recommend running barefoot, but ultimately, they couldn't care less. However, the terrain was not really...

    And finally did the Lion's rock hike barefoot!

    The Lion's rock is a very strong symbol for all hongkongese, as it expresses their strong will and their desire to resist pressure (and God knows they are facing a lot of pressure from China these days!). It was somehow strange, but I never tackled this pretty easy hike until now. Probably...

    Need this cold weather to stop soon

    So I'm not one for posting things like this, but I feel like this should be put out there. I've been stressed out lately with my grandfather's Alzheimer's and dementia to the point where this morning I yelled at him on the phone at work. I won't go into all the details but I think some of you...
