Hi all, and Happy New Year! I haven't posted in a looooong time, but my barefoot running continues. Just haven't had anything remarkable to talk about. I...
Happy New Year. Thanks for the report. I love to hear the success stories it always gives me hope for what is possible. It has been about two weeks since my...

I'm a newb when it comes to barefoot running - I just started this past summer. To my surprise, I've been able to run in temps as low as 22F without any sort...
Happy New Year! Its interesting to hear how some do not like running when its wet out. Maybe its because I live in the very wet northwest, but I love running ...
after some warmer temps we finally have a cold snap here in western pa. this morning clocked in at 15F but blissfully dry. i went out with my five fingers on...
Ryan - After following your soft-soles landings for a ways in a 5K up here a couple of years ago, I'm not surprised you can handle the slippery surfaces so ...
... run? ... did it ... degree ... curve ... for ... Hi Karin, As you say, I'm sure it's different for everyone, but I'll tell you what I can. I have done...
Thanks, Jon! You are too kind complimenting me on my form - I run that way because I'm really a wimp and I'm just trying to avoid pain and injury! Ryan ... a...
I'm impressed that you can stay warm in Five Fingers at 15F, especially on snow. I wish I could, because Five Fingers are so much more comfortable than the...
one thing that i've found quite interesting is that when i run barefoot but carry my five fingers in my hands, my thumbs get cold! i hold each five finger in...
I have had success with cold barefoot running as well. I can run barefoot when it's sunny, dry, and above 30 degrees. When it's wet I can run in 40 degrees and...
Thanks for sharing your excellent observations Tom! It's interesting that you mention getting blisters on the ball of your left foot and not on the right one; ...
Although I love barefoot running, I also love the gadgets -- particularly the Polar HR devices. I especially love the RS800, which gives me all the "standard";...
Not exactly about barefoot running, but about going barefoot in general. Feel free to delete this, BKB, if it is too off-topic. Once winter hits here in...
While I have not been going barefoot in public places such as airports, people do seem to think it to be strange when they notice that I am running barefoot....
I usually wear flipflops if I think it will be a problem and I have been asked several times, aren't your feet cold? I always say politely that no they are...
I think the population has been conditioned, especially in colder climates, feet are ugly and smelly, especially men's feet. Probably women in these climates...
I got some brand new birkenstocks for Christmas. A little while back, when I first thought about going barefoot, I mentioned that birkenstocks might be nice,...
The debris on the roads around here, as well as the cold, has pretty much ruled out my doing any barefoot running soon. I run around a large park with bike...
My 2 cents: When I go barefoot, I am much more careful where I step than when I have shoes on. There are many places I don't step when unshod. But shod?...
Kelly, I admire your resolve to go barefoot, even in an airport! I go barefoot in many places, but the only time I tried it at an airport was many years ago...
Its really cold here, 20's and 30's and so I have been running barefoot on the treadmill on the military base where we live and I got a woman who asked me if...
I know lots of people who really love them. I have that pesky scar tissue on the tendons of my feet and the ridges on the birkies are uncomfortable for me...
Yanni, why do you not like them? AND how is your running going? I don't see many posts from people anymore. Due to winter maybe? I not saying any more about...
They have heavy, rock-solid soles that make my feet clumsy. I prefer something more flexible and minimalist - less is more. Still running barefoot in the cold...
I have the Polar s625x. I have had it for a few years. No good for running barefoot and I cannot stand the foot pod. It does not work with my MacBook Pro. The...
