👋 Who’s Behind This?
Hi, I’m Phil — I started barefoot running after seeing some funny shoes with toes (yep, early Vibram FiveFingers). The bounce I felt in those first steps reignited a joy I thought I’d lost. Since then, I’ve probably owned a pair from every major barefoot brand, spending a small fortune on shoes designed to feel like you’re not wearing shoes at all.
This site is here to help you make smarter barefoot choices — and transition safely, without breaking the bank (or your feet).
