Thanks for the comment Ken, good to hear that from a guy who runs barefoot as much as you do!

I would hasten to add, however, that just because barefoot running works well for some of us, it would be unwise for any runner to shed the shoes if he or she are running now without injury.  If you are lucky enough to be able to run without injury, then DON’T CHANGE A THING!!!  You are very lucky, and should not mess with what works.
