Check out books, internet clips, and now the show “Dual Survival” on The Discovery Channel for Cody Lundin. This guy is a barefoot madman. You will not be disappointed.

Hey I know what you mean about feeling unstable when you put shoes on again. I wear my sprints A LOT, and only wear other shoes for work really. Friday morning I put on my heels for work, started walking down the stairs in my house…and tripped and basically rolled down about five stairs…embarrassing, but at least it was just the dogs that saw! My legs and feet are so unsteady and uncomfortable in shoes now, I guess I’ll just have to get my boss to let me wear my vibrams to work!

I bought some vibrams about a year ago after reading about them on the Modern Forager. I have unfortunately not been able to use them much at all. My feet are EXTREMELY prone to blisters, and anything over half a mile in vibrams causes blisters on the ball of my foot and my heel. I have absolutely no clue what do to, and I really want to use them! Completely barefoot isn’t an option as I am not walking on ground that is safe, plus I worry about viruses and funguses and don’t want to end up with plantar warts or athlete’s foot.

Anyway, I also get horrendous blisters in hiking boots, and after anything over about 5 miles I also start to develop them while wearing running shoes. My converse all stars offer even less protection and I get blisters after about 2 miles. Any suggestions there??

Thorny things are definitely not fun! Here’s a goofy idea: someone told me to put duct tape on the bottom of my feet when I was walking a long distance to avoid blisters (that was with shoes, mind you). It worked amazingly well. . .maybe you can “coat” the bottoms of your feet with duct tape. (I said it was goofy!)

Ron,
I would imagine that they would work fine.

Are Vibrams ok to wear on an indoor track? Because it gets awfully snowy here in Illinois.

egmutza,
My second toe is indeed longer and my vibrams fit fine.
