Currently sitting in an ER so expect me to go silent for a bit.

Long story, my car got hit and ran(? runned?) and I went out to check the damage… stupidly barefoot… and managed to cut up both of my feet pretty good.

The other mods have been notified and will be making sure things don’t go off the rails, they’re just quieter than I am. :)

    Looking forward to bored, painkiller-fueled drunken screeds about something so esoteric and niche we all scratch our heads.

    In that vein? This is why I always thought it weird that hobbits didn’t wear shoes or boots, when every other race did.

    Doesn’t matter how sturdy your feet are. Eventually the ground is gonna tear them up.

    Glad that’s the worst of it; sounds awful enough.

      “It’s nAtUrAl tO RuN BaReFoOt!”

      Yeah, I have skin ribbons that disagree with that!

        As a Barefoot runner it’s only natural if what you’re running on is also natural… Even then there are things like thorns lol. Glass is unforgiving.

        (and by Barefoot I still use minimalist shoes with at least some tread to them).

        Anyways… The mod is out of the house, party time!

        (in all sincerity, not fun sorry).

            The barefoot movement has prompted some manufacturers to introduce minimalist shoes, thin-soled and flexible shoes such as traditional moccasins and huaraches for minimalist running.

            It does sound weird, but barefoot running is more broadly associated with any type of running that includes 0-drop heels and thin-soled “minimalist” shoes of various types. Can say minimalist running, but they’re often used interchangeably. In fairness I do like raw doggin’ it occasionally, too.
