Asking what is "normal" around here is a very loaded question :) But consider that you might be pushing off too hard rather than just lifting and falling...
I agree that people often tense up when they see rough asphalt or sharp stones, and that the tension is often the cause of the pains/injuries. Just watch for...
Jeffrey, Look forward to running with you again Jeffrey. I've added the event to my upcoming events. http://barefootkenbob.com/ See you there, and maybe before...
he!he! This reminds me that I too sometimes run by just staring at the horizon blankly. Because I can still see/feel the trail/surroundings with peripheral...
I've been barefooting since Jan. 1 this year and walking 20 minutes a day since April 18. Except I skipped most of last week because of the pain. It has gone...
... Do not take me wrong when I say I like them I mean it's an alternative when it is too cold. In summer my feet are getting too sweaty for my taste. I think...
... Ted, Would it be possible to order a kit with both type of straps (hemp and leather)? I think it would make a nice birthday gift that I could give to...
when i was running the tucson marathon, i talked with two guys that were taking turns doing this: one was leading with eyes open, and one was holding on to the...
I am quite sure you are right about that. However, I don't recommend trying to run 100 miles in the mountains in flip-flops. For that, you need an ingenious...
i've ran alot of miles in flip flops... i used to carry them for off roading, cuz i got tired of goathead thorns, and these other thorns that would gang up...

Interesting flipflop experiences. I wore 'em last year in four trail races (5K/10mi/13mi/50mi) and a rough road marathon. I seem to have to squeeze them...
Excellent! I'm doing a 5K in Nahant with shod friends on Friday evening the 15th. Flying out with my wife Anne on Saturday. She hasn't decided if she will...
Ted and anyone else who has tried the huaraches - I am thinking this may be the answer to my IM quandary. I was going to cut the soles out of aqua socks but I...
I know that we are breaking a big rule here talking about...not exactly shoes (barefoot police, thank you for you indulgence). And furthermore, I DO have a...
The rules are really more like guidlines, and I certainly hope that the "barefoot police" never make themselves as obnoxious as most "Shoe Police". We're not...
You should get three pairs of loose socks instead of wearing those thing inside the Neos if you get them! If you got the insulated Neos I'm sure it would be...
During the last few miles of the Saddleback Half Marathon on Memorial Day, one man caught up with me, and was making a horrible pounding racket with his shoes....

Ran the 5K today. I was pretty disappointed. When I crossed the finish line, I knew I could have gone either faster or longer. The LSD runs have helped me...
