The mission of the group is to...

Share experiences running barefoot, with minimalistic running shoes, and with indigenous footwear, footwear that allows the foot to feel and to develop strength naturally.

This group seeks to dispel the myth that you need an overly supportive, cushioned, orthopedic shoe-boot in order to push the limits of human potential in running and exploring the world joyfully.

We welcome discussions on topics brought up in Christopher McDougall's book "Born to Run"...a book that has inspired many of us!

Please feel free to join and share YOUR experiences and YOUR adventures, big or small.

Best Regards, Barefoot Ted aka El Mono
