I've been investigating the topic and reading for a month or so and I've only run barefoot twice so far. As such, I am pretty new to the running community. It made me a little sad when I stumbled across this whole controversy. Much like early love, I was under the illusion it was all sunshine and rainbows and one big barefoot/minimalist running love fest. (((sigh))) Alas, now I know that the minimalist running community is just like pretty much any other community--i.e., made up of imperfect humans who sometimes have strong opinions and sometimes feel the need for drama. Meh. I think I'll just do whatever feels right for me and stick my fingers in my ears and say, "La! La! La! I'm not listening!" ;-PMicheleStitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16359536829512273796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040068262268266654.post-46877435138504532572012-06-22T04:02:26.312-07:002012-06-22T04:02:26.312-07:00:) Whatever :):) Whatever :)Ewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17005438284707424779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040068262268266654.post-7819312933404753622012-06-21T19:24:34.116-07:002012-06-21T19:24:34.116-07:00YES JEFF I AGREE...

Last night, just sitting in my chair, reading a book, and suddenly I wanted to go run with no shoes. It never happened because my wife was just finishing making dinner for her mom and I, and I can't just run off into the wild when MIL is coming over. Still though, there's been this random whisper in my ear to try it for a while now and it will probably happen soon. <br /><br />I'm with you. I feel the right of footwear or lack thereof is a personal choice that everyone is entitled to make on their own (and change at any given time). I don't care if someone's running barefoot or with moon boots. Half the point of enjoying the running community is accepting everyone's weird quirks and difference. Let's face it, we're all oddballs in our own special ways.<br /><br />Not only that, but most of us are pretty opinionated, anyway when it comes to our own running (though some of us are much less vocal about it). I can't see changing someone's mind just by being a confrontational jerkface about footwear.Vaudiophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04120467461814379463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040068262268266654.post-45013781892077685552012-06-19T18:51:20.455-07:002012-06-19T18:51:20.455-07:00Hey I agree with your opinion.

I just want to enjoy running .... sometimes barefoot, sometimes not. It's all good:)Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12567666970919163944noreply@blogger.com
