  • How long did it take you to be able to run barefoot? How does it compare to running in shoes? Do you find you get injured more or less?

    Have you ever tried the barefoot shoes Vibram Fivefingere?

    I always seem to get injured running and was thinking about trying this.

  • Sorry mate, I haven't been on the youtube for a while. When I first started I want to say it took me about 4 months to build up the skin on my feet and for my calves to get use to the lack of a heel. I've have been running barefoot for 5 years and haven't had a running injury, aside from an over-training incident. I do wear the VibramFivefinger during the winter as it is too cold to run barefoot. They are really nice but you do lose some of the "feel" for things if you don't do barefoot sometim.

  • I am starting to run Barefoot, and my main reason was i couldn't afford any the shoes i heard were the best. I was sitting there and thinking about how crappy it is that i don't have good shoes, and i realized i have the best shoe there is - barefoot. After trying running barefoot, i saw the difference, and I'm never putting on my huge padded trainers again.

  • ppl always look more graceful when they run barefoot......thats cause u have to be soft on ur feet or it hurts, thats the whole beauty of barefoot running

  • Your stride looks too long, or you're kicking your feet too far back, or your cadence isn't fast enough ... if you watch other bf running videos, it seems like you are closer to regular shod running in terms of stride length

  • This is inspiring!

  • great clip. Ive been running barefoot for about a month and i always get the stangest looks, and it also feels more natural

  • great clip. i like running barefoot, too!

  • Great Video! I like the comment "How long you want me to kep doing this?", lol. Was he driving and filming at the same time?

  • very good! like you're gliding

    even some barefoot "instructors" look stiff compared to you

  • You have good form on your stride. Nice video!

  • Haha hey Jimmy!

    Grantie has gotten me into barefoot running and I'm going into it full time and am even getting a pair of fivefingers kso

  • whenever i see barefoot runner, they always look like escaped maniacs running from the law!
