Ugh, I hear you. Finally got a long run in yesterday. I'm pleased to report the feet got back in the saddle as if they were never off the barefoot horse. That...
Hey all, Thought I would share this photo of my friends daughter http://tinyurl.com/yldgtuv This was taken during the Olympic Hockey Gold Medal Round (yeah...
Happy Monday, Last night, a friend asked if I'd seen the recent article about barefooting in our local daily, The Santa Cruz Sentinel. I'd managed to miss it,...
Jones: Don't be concerned about the distance of your strides. It all depends on how fast you are going. If you are running in place, the distance is zero! If...
Here is a very simple, effective exercise to help tired/sore shoulders and rounded upper back issues (full credit to Pete Egoscue and his "Pain-Free" books and...
FYI: There are other variations of twins. My wife and I are the parents of identical twins. We learned there are other ways of "twinning". One egg can divide...
Hola, Jotaca! If you are running barefoot (no shoes at all!) then the life your VFFs will be decades, centuries, or longer!! ;) If you running in your VFFs,...
Without doing the maths, not sure about the relative weight landing on each foot ...... They also only walk/run on their toes. And yes, they can cut their feet...
Where do we humans fit in this spectrum? Love to hear from barefoot (or other) scientists. jim ... Bigger Animals Keep a Stiff Lower Foot A study in the...
An egg can divide? Now, that I did not know! That makes sense. An individual gets 50% of their genes (not EXACTLY, but lets not be too anal retentive here)...
Just off the top of my head... Dogs relax their joints allowing them to flex, and act as springs. This reduces the pressure when stepping on a stone. Same...
Generally positive about BF, but in my experience there are few BF runners in the UK. The comments, I think, are indicative of the general view. I've never...
I don't know about pebbles, but I know I"ve seen my dog and cat limping, carrying their paw in the air because of a sticker they couldn't get out, until I got...

Here's a collection of barefoot-related links. The first 5 have to do with barefoot walking or barefoot hiking, and the last 5 have to do with barefoot...
OK, so about a month ago I tried a pair of five fingers for the first time - ran a nice, gentle three miles. The next day, my calves were KILLING me so I...
I had this same problem. One podiatrist said "developing a stress fracture", which is BS. Took an X-ray, there was nothing. Went to a better podiatrist and...
i played basketball for almost 20 years, as "forward", and doing about 40 toe/calve raise regulary, plus 200 rope skipping. Sometimes i do frog jump circling...
I never cease to be amazed by regular shod runners who would never think of letting their running shoes accumulate too many miles on them for fear of risking...
Roughly in agreement here. Once your feet are strong, your form is second nature, you can run in anything you want. At that point, I'd highly doubt you WANT...
Great-thanks for your thoughts! Again, my immediate worry is the potential fracture on my left foot - going to see someone in an hour and will report back. My...
Makes sense to me -- but then again I'm doing a "parallel transition" -- Barefoot for shorter distances ...... until ....... my feet can go longer, VFF for...
