Monkey Shoes!

The 1960 Olympic marathon was won in 2:15:17 by Adebe Bikila. Barefoot.

Last year I began toying around with moving towards barefoot training.  Obviously you can't walk around barefoot, so there are a number of shoes that offer a barefoot alternative. My first step was buying a pair of Nike Frees last July.  Nike Frees are less cushioned than regular shoes, but aren't a true "barefoot" shoe.  I've used them mostly for weight training and some light running, and have really liked them.
