No, the things they say mean they don't understand it. "Doesn't that hurt your feet?" is a question that no one who understands barefoot running would ask. Als

Also, I don't care about what they say. If you don't have a thick skin and the capacity to shake off random comments from strangers, you won't do something unusual that attracts that kind of attention for > 10 years

- nhellman 3y agoIt is not an entirely painfree experience, though. In some cases it is not a completely unwarranted question. For example, the snow and ice melted here yesterday, exposing gravel on asphalt which is borderline painful to run on directly. Also, e.g. very cold winter days or just nasty gravel roads may inflict varying degrees of pain. Otherwise, it can also be slightly painful for the soles during later parts of long runs, especially when inexperienced or when running for the first time in months.
