I got in trouble for running on the sidwalks barefoot the other day, i wish it wasnt such a huge society issue to not wear shoes. Come on people, get with it

Went on my first barefoot run yesterday and it may have been my best feeling three miler of my life. Although my cut up feet may say otherwise, it was worth it!

I like how they're running and then the overweight man takes up the shot, a bit ironic Watson

What about regaining pace? I just ran a half marathon in Gel-Kayano 17 in 1:27:45. If if were to change this running style today i will lose my pace and my mileage. For a competitive person this could be devastating. I have never had any injures and i usually run on my palms of my foot anyway to increase my calf strength. Thoughts?

I run BF/Minimalist and so do most of my buds. Just wanted to say WATCH OUT FOR ROCKS, my friend and I were on a long run and towards the end we picked up the pace and he stepped on a big rock and broke a small bone in his foot. He's been running in vibrams for 3 years now and this is the only issue he's had, kind of unlucky really but just wanted to remind everyone there is some risk involved, keep your eyes peeled!

running barefoot is much better than using vibrams.

@Riggro I would say 2 miles is definitely too far, for a first time VFF or BFR. If you were running barefoot for that distance, your feet would have told you when it was too far. The VFF allow you to go further than you should because you don't feel soreness until it's too late. At least, that's how I've come to understand the technique as described in Ken Bob's book (barefoot running step by step). If you haven't run in a long time, it should probably be less than half a mile (build up).
