Barefoot experiment continued
Mar. 15th, 2010 02:55 pmDay 8: (3/13/2010)
Spent most of the day at a friend's party, and so it wasn't really that interesting to be barefoot indoors. However, at the movie and dinner afterwards, I was barefoot. Got a few looks while at the movie theater, but nothing really significant. I had a really good time walking on the bare pavement. My speed feels like it is still increasing, and I'm still getting smoother on my walking. I'm now able to take the ground strike on the ball of my foot and drop my heel all in one smooth motion now. It's amazing how easy this is to learn.
Day 9: (3/14/2010)
Today, I went hiking and climbing. Since my feet and muscles aren't ready for intense hiking and climbing yet, I decided to wear my hiking shoes. Very different experience. I noticed that I really loved the grip that my hiking shoes have on the ground. I walk easily over rocks, boulders, and other things without having to think about them much. Went barefoot once the hike was over. Nothing interesting to report from that, except that it felt like freedom again.
Day 10: (3/15/2010)
I got my Soft Star Ramblers today. Very odd sort of shoe. Very odd look to it as well. Still deciding whether or not I like the look, but the feel is really nice. It's a soft-soled moccasin, so it lets me do barefoot-style walking without being completely barefoot. This is really good for situations where being barefoot is not allowed, as well as for situations where it is really cold and you want to be barefoot-ish, but warm. The only drawback is that I can't feel the ground in them.
