Forums >Gears and Wears>Holy Cow - shoes are evil?
what amazes me though, is how some people get down right offensive about it when you tell them that you barefoot run. i just mention that i do it sometimes and non-barefoot runners will almost shout at me all the reasons that it is "bad" for you... blows my mind.

1) The irony, of course, is that what you just described is exactly the opposite of the reality of this thread. You are attacking others - you are claiming your way is best, that shoes cause injury. 2) And for the record, we don't really come to RA to debate. There are a billion sites like that. Try LetsRun.com. 3) We come here to support and share. I know it sounds cheesy, but its true. If you really dig barefoot running, why not just get excited about it and loose the preaching and defensiveness? People will be interested. 4) By the way - it would help if you'd make your log public. Not to sound like an elitist prick, but I tend to be a little more interested if this is sort of this is coming from an Olympic qualifier rather than an average schmoe who read an article on a website.
Lazy idiot
4) no way. i dont have time for that.
Tick tock
4) no way. i dont have time for that. and i am certainly not an average joe schmoe who just read an article. I live the barefoot life man. anyways, anyone can post some 100mi weeks on their log. that stuff shouldnt matter. lydiard wasn't an elite runner. my stats are impressive. and taking a year off from serious training to get into barefoot form kept me from kicking ryan hall's butt at the marathon trials. he actually sent me a letter thanking me for not showing up. oh well
