Mt Whitney barefooted?! Wow, that’s quite a feat (feet?).

On Saturday I did my first barefooted hike up Mt Wrightson south of Tucson. I was pretty impressed with myself until I saw that video.

This site actually convinced me to experiment how to live life primal without necessarily going caveman, and one of the things I have noticed is how much easier treadmill-HIIT is sans the shoes. Now, if only my coach could let me play a badminton match without shoes (or at least Vibrams).

Re: barefootness

So does this mean that we should be wearing flat shoes (like sandals and flip flops) to be as close to barefoot as possible? What about people with high arches that feel they need the arch support (i.e. me)?

Ive had my eye on the Vibrams for a long time now… sigh. When do they go on sale?

Being thin is good for the environment, so of course CNN advises that you exercise more – which will make you hungrier, not thinner. Sigh. If only more people took Gary Taubes seriously.

More barefoot related questions. I am using Nike Frees for my weekly sprint sessions at a local track and like the step down from regular running shoes. I would like to try some Vibrams when I replace the Frees. I might even use them for weekly hikes on rocky trails. How have Vibrams held up for all of you and under what conditions are you using them?

There has been a steady move toward barefoot & near-barefoot running for quite some time. I own a pair of running sandals and have several friends that own Nike shoes designed to provide protection without ’support’, thereby emulating barefoot running. I haven’t gone there yet though.
