Hi, Paraganek, what planning have you followed for the transition? I'd start from the scratch. Thx !!!!
Keyser,
For a start, I probably never was a legitimate member of this club.
I realized that when I had my foot xrays done back in January 2011.
There is no sign of shortened first metty (maybe a little on my left foot).

As for planning of my transition - there wasn't much really
I read everything I could, then I just threw shoes away and started barefoot.
I only set up one rule - barefoot only, no minimalist shoes, regardless of conditions.
And listen to you body. Increase the distance very slowly.
Did not always work.
I got a stress fracture after 6 months and another one in 10 months.
Both on my fibulas, just above the ankles. I was rushing it. Had to slow down.
Or maybe that was a necessary part of my transition, to strengthen my fibulas this way.
Don't know.
So I am probably not the best person to follow.
Interestingly I never got TOFP, PF nor any other foot issues. Everyone is different.
This July it is going to be three years of running barefoot for me and it just keeps getting better !
I could never go back to shoes.
Good luck to you with the transition and Happy running !
