Good running shoes are so expensive that some long distance runners are opting to go natural and run barefoot. One shoe maker, Galahad Clark, is trying to create a shoe that is as close to being barefoot as possible, but with a little added comfort and support. These "Vivo Barefoot" shoes only have a three millimeter sole, which gives your foot cushion, but allows the runner to run and walk as nature intended. It's actually more natural and instinctual to run around barefoot than it is to wear shoes, something humans created and marketed.

South Florida has too many hazards for the barefoot, such as sandspurs and the occasional scorpion. The beaches are OK for this, but tht's about it.

I actually prefer to walk around in "walking shoes".
If tried to walk in "running shoes" I'd get all confused
and one leg would walk and the other would run and I'd
just end up going around in circles.

Because it lets the feet air out.
This way, they don't get stinky.

Usually barefoot in the house and running shoes when outside. I don;t have regular shoes at all.
Having been a runner, I'd rather have the shock absorbing power f a good shoe. When you run on concrete, it's different than running on sand or earth. Our feet weren't intended to be used on an unyielding surface continually.

I would rather not be barefoot when I accidentally step in dog crap, pieces of glass, nails, stones, sticks, insects such as spiders, bees, ants, etc., and all that other great stuff nature has in store.=]

but running barefoot is dangerous. And they already have running shoes that are like running barefeet, they are made like the five toed socks and cover up to below your ankle and have special socks as well.

If I could find a way to work barefoot, I would.

Around the house it's barefoot, but I've had some foot problems in the past and wear shoes outside. Always boots and long pants on the bike. The latter is a rule, especially for passengers. No shorts on the bike. It's too easy to burn a leg on the pipes or God forbid, road rash on a lady's legs..... I like legs too much to allow that.

I always wear my worn out levi's and leather chaps and black Harley boots on a bike. I can't stand seeing people with tank tops, flip flops, etc. on a bike, just asking for road rash or worse!

Chaps may be overkill unless it's cold, but for some reason I'm thinking I'd like the look on you.

Way west of where I hunted. Warrensberg is closer to Albany.

It is actually between Albany and Binghampton. Warrensburg is near Lake George right? Spent a lot of time in Lake George, Glens Falls, Saratoga area in HS/college.

Yup it's not far north of Lake George. SUNY had some property in the Adirondacks park. We camped a few miles north of there.
