I'd take that BF Or Bust approach if I were more confident about the nature of the trail ... but it occurs to me that I could take a small backpack to hold my...
I like your idea. When running a new course or one that I know might give me trouble, I sometimes carry my huarache sandals. As I gain more experience I'm...
Howdy! I'm a 25 year old female who is tired of living the status quo. I want to run, and darnit I want to run barefoot! Here is where the problems start: I...
I can't speak for your problems, but what about starting out slowly and trying barefoot and see what happens? I mean, start walking around barefoot. Then...

I would consider wearing sandals or minimalist footwear on some pointy gravel trails, like I ran on for 10 miles at the Born to Run Ultra Marathons a few weeks...
I've always heard that BF is the best thing for PF, and from a podiatrist. Wouldn't tape just be another form of support/protection? You are the only one who...
Jess, I started running BF five years ago. I have very flat feet and used to tweak my ankles all the time in sneakers. I used to have back problems, use knee...
I'm in Columbia, Missouri. Nice place to run and tons of trails here. I guess I'm just worried that I'll backslide and be more painful again. I'll read up on...
http://www.startribune.com/lifestyle/wellness/122962433.html?page=1&c=y I am wondering if "barefoot running" always means "barefoot running" in this story. I...

After all the buildup, I'm skipping today's 5K. Been raining all night, still raining, and the 5K starts last. In November I ran a 5K with my grandson in the...
