Barefoot Running

[Red Rock]

After reading the last series of comments, I thought I would at least ask. I have bunions on both feet. Since I have those, it has made me hesitant about wearing these shoes, let alone run in them.

Does anyone else have anything like this and using the VFF's? I used to walk around my house as a kid without shoes but have not since becoming an adult. My calves will probably kill me when I first start out.

Comments? Concerns?

Thank you,

I am curious about this too. I used to have bunions on both my feet. I had a bilateral bunionectomy. Now I have two screws in each foot. I'm really hesitant to try barefoot running . . . And maybe I don't need to, I haven't suffered running injuries in the past other than a cyst during my marathon training that went away after a week off. And last summer I got plantar fasciitis, but that was after a long Adventure Race.

Barefoot running for people with bunions???
