One of the things I feel happens to a barefooter is you end up using your calves more. The internal part of my left Achilles's heel is a bit sore today. (The soles of my feet are all right, though.)
So, why did I think it would be a good idea to learn to walk on my naked feet? All of my life I've worn mostly minimalist footwear. Flip-flops and the like. Then I bought these fancy hiking boots for a trip to Peru and found out, once I was already there, that the boots hurt my knees. I was way too far from EMS to return the boots, so I ended up just doing all of those long hikes in Crocs. It was the rainy season, and sometimes I'd actually have to take the Crocs off if I didn't want to slip and fall in the wet slippery terrain.
After this trip I thought: to the hell with those shoes things. I already know I don't need no arch support from them (not any more than Crocs provide). It might not be too far-fetched to try and simply drop shoes altogether.
So that's basically it. I want to develop this super-power I thing is dormant in me.
