From my use of Liquid Nails on home projects, Jon, I am convinced that moleskin would not come off if thus applied. Unfortunately, one might actually have to...
One thing that may be helpful with new runners is to meet with other runners in the area. I used to run the beach and then met Ken and ran with Ken who has ...

Kenbob - Well, I don't claim to be a casual marathoner anyway but my current high of seven barefoot marathons is fast paling, especially with you, and probably...
Wow, I did not know this existed. It could be one of the best things on the site in a while for connecting barefoot runners. I just put myself on the map....
