Anyone wearing barefoot shoes? Vibrams? Adipures? Perhaps something from the Merrell Glove series? Maybe you're a VivoBarefoot person.




Let us know! Pics too why not!

I love my Minimus (review here), but I'm not stuck on any one brand. If Lizard made my size, that would be my first choice. I'll be telling that to their CEO when I see him again in about two weeks.

+1:thumbsup: for the NB. I love mine, though I'm mostly in sandals these days. I tried the Merrel's also, and they seemed to roll my foot to the outside too much for my liking. My only complaint with the NB, and maybe this is not specific to them, is that they seem to hold odor and get a little funky fairly quick.

You need some Stuffits. They'll keep your shoes fresh, and they'll last longer.

I also tried the ZEMgear, and wear Dr. Scholl's that don't look like old people shoes, at work. My wife reviewed the Skechers GOwalk recently, and I talked them into sending me a pair as well.

My site is full of information. Just need to convince more people to visit...

Tried the VFF's.
They are really close to barefoot
EXCEPT...
Barefooted I do not have each toe in it's own little holder.
VERY un-natural...very.

Has anyone tried the Skechers?
The shoes Meb wears?
They cause a midfoot strike instead of a fore foot strike like these minimal shoes or a heel strike like regular main stream shoes.

The GOrun? If all goes well, I will be bringing a pair home from ORSM.

I tried a pair on in the store and did a treadmill jog with them.
I am intrigued. They did not feel like the vff's or the Mizuno's or Brooks I normally run in.
They really do cause a mid foot strike.

I taught myself the new(well not new but"re-discovered") method of short strides..Quick foot fall. This causes more of a mid foot strike over normal full stride running. I am up to about 150 strikes/minute, my goal is 160.

Just watch Forrest Gump run. Perfect form. Short, quick stride, minimal arm movements.

I used to workout barefoot but a year and a half ago, I got my first pair of Vibram FiveFinger, the Bikila LS. It took me a week to get used to them, and now I can not train without them. They are actually the most comfortable pair of shoes I have.

I also have the Vibram FiveFinger Speeds (which have a more casual look to them), and a pair of Merrell True Gloves (which are more of an outdoorsy, trekking shoe).

If you wear shoes without socks, your feet will stink.

You can throw the shoes in the washing machine. And ofcourse wash your feet too!

 

[qmsdc15]

Phew! What stinks?

I usually wear thin socks with mine. They still retain odors much more than my other shoes.

You're not still wearing cotton and synthetics, are you? Try wool. I figured that if my Darn Tough socks didn't stink after six days straight, no further testing was needed.

The Emperor has barefoot shoes that are weightless and invisible to all but the most discerning observer...

Barefoot feet are happy feet.

Where can you buy Stuffits? Looks like a great idea?

First, you have to read my review, here. You'll find a link to their site in it, and there should be a store locator. If not, let me know, and I will put you in touch with the owner.

Ah. Got it. I did read your review which is why I want to check them out. I just wasn't smart enough to see the link. My bad.

I think these would be good for street shoes too. Fashion shows the no sock or stocking look so now nice flats smell like linebacker's cleats. Not to mention cowboy boots. Thanks for the review!
