Only tip I can give is to just give your feet time to get the callouses. It's not for everyone, but running barefoot gives me more of an agile feel while I'm running. Avoid the actual streets and use sidewalks if you can until your feet get used to it. If you have access to a track that's got some kind of rubber, use it as well.

I've done this for as long as I can remember, off and on. I've done hikes in the Badlands and Black Hills barefoot. Again, hiking through either of those places isn't something you should do unless you've got your feet used to the wear and tear. But if you can get used to it then it's a nice break from having anything on your feet. You'll feel lighter, more nimble and more responsive in each step. Plus your knees and ankles will feel differently after running a mile barefoot vs with shoes on.

Why? Is there a bear? Because that's the only fucking way I'm running barefoot. Even then I might just let the bear kill me.

Personal preference I guess. Just something I did and continued to do as I got older. Wife thinks it's crazy, but I never thought it was as crazy as she makes it out to be. It's just a way to break the routine of running I guess.

Just don't forget to grab your playbook from the Lambo.

For those questioning it do some quick searches on how much modern shoes mutilate your feet which results in many of the lower body issues people have today.

Since I have started going barefoot when possible and wearing wide toed zero drop shoes everything from lower back down feels better.

No more plantar fasciitis, ankle soreness, shin splints, etc...

I'd just do a basic go route, tbh.

I'd probably go back to wearing Earth Shoes before I tried running barefoot for my physical health. One thing is for sure, you don't want to screw up your feet because that has a direct effect on every aspect of your health.

Yet that is what the modern shoe does.
