Running Nudists
A group for those of us who think running is a nice way to exercise. Do not think there are so many of us who are able to run naked as the group is for both naked and clothed runners.

Any other barefoot runners out there?
Return to DiscussionsAnd I'm not talking about wearing Vibrams or any of the other "minimalist" running shoes out on the market. I mean back-to-basics, purely barefoot running.
I've been running barefoot for almost a decade now, and it adds a lot of enjoyment to the experience. It's great for my form, I've built up some strong callus, and my speed on pavement (once a weak spot) is now as good as it is on trails.
Apparently, I have the right feet for it. If you're flat-footed or have especially high arches, barefoot running could actually cause stress on the joints. Thankfully, that hasn't been my experience!
