Last night (November 25th), we had a teleseminar about all things barefoot, from running to walking to hiking to, well anything else that came up.
It was an open format call where I just answered whatever questions came up. We discussed:
- Distance running form vs. sprinting form
- The proper way to walk when barefoot
- “Front side” vs. “Back side” mechanics
- Which muscles you should be using when you’re barefoot/minimalist
- Confusion about foot strike (and clarification about what’s correct)
- Barefoot running injuries and what’s the best kind of injury you can get (seriously)
- Why comparing sole thicknesses of minimalist shoes is meaningless
- What makes Xero Shoes different than other minimalist footwear, including other sandals
- and a LOT more…
The call ran about 42 minutes and, no doubt, we’ll be doing more of them in the future. It was a lot of fun.

If there’s a question we didn’t get to, feel free to ask it in the comments section or on our Forum. I may answer it here, or I may wait and schedule another barefoot teleseminar and dive into it on the call.
If you somehow manage to wear through the outsole on your Xero Shoes, we will replace them for a nominal cost.
