Barefoot Running

[commoner]

Wanted to do barefoot running for a long time and I was thinking of getting the swiss FYF (search Barefoot Company - Fyf in Goolge) instead of the vibrams. Claim to be 15x stronger than steel. What are your thoughts on this?

been using vibram elx for 6 months. no injuries so far.

to me, less stress to my knees but on calves and thighs

as regards to fyf socks, review is that not suitable for normal running, will have holes after 30 or so km on toads. probably good for stafium tracks and such, so barefoot friend is not recommending.

look out for skinner socks which is supposedly better but would presume not as lasting as vibram for normal road and trail running

Ouch! Do you always run barefooted?

Any health benefits?

Nike running shoes and you'll never go wrong

Running barefooted only for short distance... I think

not recommended as you do not know what is on the floor
