I was just thinking about the whole "VFF vs. shoes vs. barefoot" thing tonight on my (VFF-shod) run.

I spent the winter working on incrementally going from light stability shoes to training flats and VFFs. Despite the fact that my VFFs are definitely not barefoot, they are certainly more minimal and less cushioned than my flats (ask my calves!). The more VFF running I do, the closer my training flat form gets to my barefoot form, and that makes me very happy.

DH calls my VFF running "gorilla-foot running "
