Hi all
I’m using barefoot shoes for a few years now, and was amazed by how comfortable they are for me.
I remember each time when buying new shoes that I would have blisters and pain for at least two weeks.
When I bought barefoot shoes, I expected to need a few months to get adjusted to them. But they felt comfortable from the very beginning! (maybe because I used to walk on my toes during my childhood, even got support soles for that, but didn’t really help)
More recently, I participated in a 100km within 24h walk. I expected to fail because it was the first time I was participating in a challenge like this, but I made it!
Obviously I was tired and the last part was quite difficult still. But I was amazed that I managed to walk for more the first 50km without any discomfort or blisters.
That’s a pretty solid endorsement, and a hell of an accomplishment. Congrats.
Thanks!
I didn’t really expect it to go this well either. I had never done this kind of challenge before. And I only started recently with more serious hikes. So It’s quite interesting for me too.
I remember not liking hiking/walking that much before. So maybe the shoes make a big difference.
