Hey, Ed4. A good while ago, you wrote that you knew of people who had had a Morton's Neuroma cured by running barefoot. I thought you were nuts. Wink

Since I've been having trouble getting mine resolved, however, I've tried some forefoot and now barefoot running, and I have to say I encounter significantly less pain with this method of landing than my traditional heel-striking. I don't know if I'll stick with it once I heal up, but for now barefoot running is definitely better for me! Thanks for the wisdom and the idea!

Really? I think I'm getting it FROM running BF Confused

I must be doing something wrong. Do you have any links with decent info on it? Maybe I have something else.

I'm sorry, I don't. Perhaps it was the change that's doing me good. So we have at least one data point that says "yes" and one that says "no." Sounds pretty normal to me. Wink

What kind of symptoms are you having?

Glad to help, but I'm just passing on what I've learned from others. You can go right to the source at the Yahoo Barefoot Running Group.

It's a minor Pain under the toe next to my big toe. (I don't know the proper order for toe counting so it's either the 2nd or 4th toe) Haven't done much BF running lately and It's been getting better. Actually it never was bad enough for me to stop running more than a day or so. I'm still a big fan of BF running and plan to keep trying it. I used to have problems w/PF but it's been cured due to BF running.
