Where do you run? How did you build up your soles? I run on NYC sidewalks and in parks and my feet wouldn't last more than a few hundred yards before I stepped on glass, gravel, or chestnut or sweetgum pods.
- eru 11y agoCambridge (Cambridgeshire), then Singapore and now Sydney. I pretty much only wear shoes either for social events, or when I am leaving the house over noon: the pavement and streets are too hot, and I would burn my feet. You can train up against gravel, if you are hardcore enough and care enough. (I didn't bother.) Even rough concrete used to be a bit painful, but I got used to that.
