I used to be a skydiver, but in hindsight zoning out doing that shit aint a gud idea LOL

I'm goin super slow to build up the calluses to defend against that insanity. WISH ME LUCK /b/RO LOL

>>11256903
Calluses don't work that way, bro. Even if you walk barefoot your whole life you stick get cut by glass and if you step on a nail it still goes through your foot.

>>11256897
Haha I spell words wrong to fit in lol liek your to

>>11256937
That's what you decided to pick out and attack? There's a lot of juicy shit in there, but that's what you're rollin' with?

>>11256943
>but that's what you're rollin' with?
Yes because I hate quirky shit.

>>11256947
but it's not quirky it's proper fucking CHAN ETIQUETTE FUCK YOU

>still get cut by glass
Wrong. People who run barefoot and are generally barefoot for years have feet so calloused that a piece of glass does nothing but cut a thick layer of dead skin. Needles are still a concern though.

I like it too, I've went barefoot often for much of my life. I'm in the Ozarks so it's on sharp churt, lots of thorns and broken glass left by hillbillies of generations past. Running barefoot is great, it feels good and I don't twist my ankles like when I wear shoes.

No you still get glass in your foot just not as often. It gets sucked up underneath your callus and you have to pick it out with a knife. Alot of the time you start to bleed underneath your callus and it will turn black and make a little hole that you have to dig out. Other things you need to watch out for is getting the tops of your foot scraped up, and if you go barefoot through tall grass at any significant speed you can expect to have the front of your ankles rubbed raw.

Man /b/ro you just gave me crazy inspiration. im a spoiled american running on a paved dyke along a river and it feels liek it's been taking forever for it to stop stinging. That's fucking hardcore shit.

I gotta add that i'm hyper cautious about infections from cuts and shit. The first tiem i went barefoot i did a pretty decent half sprint for maybe a hundred yards and just straight tore the skin where the big toe connects to the foot on both feet. It has taught me patience LOL but do you take any anti-septic measures when you get glass sucked up into your callous? Whenever i get cut i always wash it pretty good and put anti-biotic with a band-aid on it until it's useable again.

Run barefoot all you want, but doing that in a city is insanity.

I am a mid-distance athlete on my spare time, and like many athletes, I think shoes were a useful invention. Especially when you are running more than 30 miles a week.

Threads about running barefoot is not /sci/ related material
