    Ran barefoot on the treadmill one time. I ended up with blisters on the pad of my feet. Never again, I must run weird is all I can figure.

    In for the best shoes to wear for barefoot running.

    These are my Xero sandals I use when conditions aren't optimal for going completely barefoot. 4mm flexible sole and this is my own customized tying style. This is my favorite pair and have about 3,000 miles on them! (yes that's 3,000!!! They are guaranteed up to 5,000 miles by Xero)

    Only place I run barefoot is on the sand at the beach. I've ran in minimalist shoes and Vibrams. But I don't find it any more advantageous than running shoes. Lifting weights however, different story.
