Totally bare became too much of a hassle, so this might be the right compromise for me.
Those are the shoes I want.

I ran...not sure the distance, but 38 minutes up a mountain and then 12:30 back down it yesterday. With walk breaks when the world started spinning. Reminds me, I need to look up those trail maps.
