No you wontOriginally Posted by Danbert
All the research seems to indicate that running barefoot is better for you than running with clunky trainers on but i wouldn't want to run barefoot on the roads near me. I'd end up standing in dog shit, human piss and glass.
People don't usually put their feet in dogshit, human piss or broken galss just because they're wearing shoes
Anyway, dogcrap is probably good for the skin

Barefoot does mean your senses are more alive, this includes your eyes.
You are very aware of where you are going to put your feet and you avoid anything that looks bad, to be fair its not so easy in the dark.
Recently found this online, thought it might be of interest to all of the barefoot natural running nutters.
If Jackson Williams pulls off what he's planning to do it would be amazing - 2500 miles across Austrailia barefoot, sounds crazy, but I love it.

This sort of exposure is great in my mind, it seems like we're seeing BF running go from beyond a fad, to the beginning of acceptance... Who knows people might start suspecting that paying £130 for a top range running shoe might, just might be a load of marketing bollocks.
More Barefooting from the Telegraph today:

Is this the same guy that was the subject of this thread?

Looks like the video is not on Youtube anymore. You'll see that his running form was a bit of controversy...

Do I have your permision to disobey to the last part?
Fully on board with the whole concept and waiting for the ground to be a little less white before I can get my tootsies out again.
However when having to where shoes I stick to my faithful 330 which are coming to the end of their usable life as I have almost worn down the studs. Is there any news on the launch of the new barer footed edition to the Inov-8 family, can I hang on with my old 330's or am I going to need to buy an interim pair

Im afraid you will have to wait a while so an interim pair is the answer.
I will ofcourse let you know when we launch the new ones

Hey the good thing is there is plenty of choice in the market
Lots of brands offering lots of different things to aid ( and sometimes hinder) our running.
Or go for the full barefoot experience if you can get away without any underfoot protection.
Loads of choices....Enjoy
