It's still looked upon as a niche market, especially compared to the shoe market. Some people do run barefoot year round, but I do not count myself among them yet, or perhaps ever. How about you? Are you exploring your options? Dan — I think if more people were purchasing VFF and such, cheaper alternatives would exist.

Some people do run barefoot year round, but I do not count myself among them yet, or perhaps ever.

How about you? Are you exploring your options?

Until more people start seeing others running around barefoot, I think it will be generally considered weird and you'll receive scorn from everyone. I think the main reason people continue to run with shoes is that:

– They have never heard of or considered barefoot running
– Advertising has always told them that they need shoes with good cushion and support to prevent injury
– You can’t run barefoot year-round in the Northern states
– They’d rather spend $80 – $100 on “actual shoes” and not VFF (there should be a cheaper alternative to VFF)
– I’ve heard the “What happens when you step on glass/rocks/$hard_sharp_object?”

Until more people start seeing others running around barefoot, I think it will be generally considered weird and you’ll receive scorn from everyone.
