Ran with my 12 year old son this morning in the first road race of the Northern Michigan season, a fund raiser put on by a local high school XC team. I wore my VFF's as it was 35 and freezing rain/snow mix, makng the asphalt slicker than snot. All the high school kids were interested in my shoes, and all seemed to know a little about them. But, their coach just glared at me and harumphed when they pointed me out to them. Evidently he's not a barefoot fan. Either that, or he's jealous of how slimming my VFF's are on my feet. LOL
Got a lot of interest from other racers as well. Out of 60 some runners, there were two of us wearing VFF's. A third said he just started wearing them, but wasn't ready to run a race pace yet. Told anyone who would listen about the BRS.
Got another race next Saturday. We'll see what kind of reactions I get there. It's on a golf course and I plan to go bare there.
