We don’t need no stinkin’ shoes! Barefoot running takes off
on May 10, 2010

ok I love this site, but I find it interesting that there is an add for Reebok ZigTech shoes right on the front page
Sorry I thought I was on the barefoot running site.
Love to see more information coming out about BF running. It’s the most fun, since, gosh, running BF as a child!
For people who want to try barefoot running but are worried about steeping on (or in) something, I’d like to recommend Invisible Shoe huarache running sandals (you can Google them). VERY barefoot feel. And you can make them yourself or get them inexpensively with the info at the Invisible Shoe site.
