Topic: Barefoot training

[Intern]

To all of you who are bickering over distance: here in NC we measure by foot length...so I can hit a 12 "foot" jump easily...maybe that's what he means? I'm sure I'm jumping probably 10 feet at my max current barefoot running jump but thats still over 14 "foots"....just food for thought

I train barefoot almost exclusively. I love the feeling  of having the closest possible connection to the environment around me, aside from being completely naked that is. I'll probably get into that someday.

Ah.... the joys of training in the nude.

I'm planning on outside barefoot training in spring, and on the days it's warm and dry out here I'm doing some, but it's been soaking wet and decently cold lately, and my feet and hands lock up badly in cold/wet conditions.
Can't wait. <3

Do parkour with shoes, Trick Barefoot.
Gym Train Barefoot as well for parkour and tricking.

Ever since I started going to PK gym classes and they told me that I'd be better off not wearing shoes, I started loving barefoot. It's not much of a difference as I've always worn Vans, and last summer was the first time I've ever had running shoes in years. There's just something about barefoot that makes you hate wearing shoes, at least on grass. I've still never practiced barefoot on any hard surfaces, cause that's not the same connection with the ground as it's flat.

My Vans are almost dead, and I'm thinking I can sneak away with buying some Feiyues since they're technically not "running shoes", they look like normal shoes, and they're ~$20.
