r/BarefootRunning

I watched the movie Hook the other day with my kids, and I all I could think about was how it was the perfect metaphor for barefoot running.

The whole premise of the movie is Peter Pan ( Robin Williams) grew up, and when he grew up he forgot how to fight, fly, and crow. He needed to relearn these to be able to fight Captain Hook (Dustin Hoffman) and save his kids, Wendy and Jack.

We all run barefoot when we are kids and forget as we grow old. We've got to relearn things we already intuitively knew how to do when we were younger. Have to fly, fight, crow, run barefoot. Must save Maggie, must save Jack.

My challenge to you:

See if you can run barefoot now without hearing Dustin Hoffman in your head say, " Good form old boy! Good Show!

You're welcome.

I'm having a hard time finding any reviews for these sandals. Can anyone comment or share their experience?

Hi guys feel free to tell me if you know how to analyze it which type of feets I have :)
Thanks in advance :D

Need help finding shoes for my dad. He needs a mens size 14 at least 4E.

Foot dimensions are 12" long and 5.5" wide.

He has issues with numbness from toe compression and it's getting worse so I want to find shoes he can wear comfortably. he's going barefoot outside because his shoes don't fit right.

Budget is open. Need Canadian shipping.

Only fashion request is black/not at all flashy.

He's looking for a walking shoe but doesn't care if it has cushion or not. Honestly we'd take a slide/clog as this point if it's wide enough.

Realfoot doesn't go wide/big enough. All the big barefoot brands are too narrow. All big commercial brands are too narrow.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

How do they compare the Injinji and amazon odd brands. Does anyone know?

I’m a new runner and researching ways to stop my feet from cramping while running. I barely make it a 100m before I have to walk not because I’m winded but because my feet feel like they are revolting. How can (if it can) barefoot running help me? Or am I just screwed? How long before muscles adapt?
