Article: Member Blog of the Week - More thoughts on the "barefoot versus minimalist" shoes issue an

Um, I don't think you have anything to prove. :)

What you've already done is teetering on the edge of what's possible without torturing yourself. I'm just thinking about animals (like my dog) and people who've spent their entire lives barefoot. 30 or 100 miles on a gravelly trail would leave their feet beat up and sensitive too. It might be true that our species evolved to meet that kind of task, but not with those huge distances. And whatever evolution did it never guaranteed comfort at mile 42..

Running without shoes can be such a joy, one wants to see how far it can go. I think unlike most of us you might have reached the limits. Thanks for reporting back from the frontier!
