Barefoot Walking: Free Your Feet to Minimize Impact, Maximize Efficiency, and Discover the Pleasure of Getting in Touch with the Earth Kindle Edition

I have seen Michael Sander on YouTube, and was thrilled to find out he wrote a barefoot book! He is the reason I am running injury-free. So, I decided to buy this book for my BF. My BF loved this book so much, especially the parts about earthing/grounding and how it helps with inflammation in the body. My BF now earths as a form of recovery after running, and he has improved his marathon time by 1 hr. He was also selected to race the NYC marathon, and I believe this book played a huge part of my BF's and my success as endurance runners. What I like most about this book, is that Sandler provides easy-to-understand research-backed concepts about how going barefoot stimulates better movement coordination in the brain and spinal cord, and how going barefoot automatically strengthens the entire body, giving you better reflexes and improves mood as well. I would certainly recommend this book to all runners, especially beginners!

I'm a barefoot runner yet I find for the most part that I am able to walk barefoot more places than I am able to run. I bought the Barefoot Running book by Sandler and Lee. I loved the barefoot running book. In fact I went to Maui to experience the "reality" of what I saw in the subsequent movie by Sandler. Yep for sure it is entirely doable though I have been doing this for 5 years. Yet I and wondered why a walking book? I really loved it because I think the walking approach provides the benefits and is much more accessible to people than a running approach. I think this is because to run barefoot you must start slow and people sometimes being lazy want shortcuts. Walking however is a much more reasonable introduction to the benefits of an unshod life with most of the benefits. I am so happy to see this book because I think it will reach more than just runners and in a real way. I think the presentation is complete and actually is a fun book to leaf through (on my iPad Kindle edition) LOL. I only hope we'll see more barefoot accessibility as more appreciate the benefits of plugging in.

As a lifelong, long-distance walker and hiker, I've been having problems with my knees and feet the past couple of years. The recent (I'm talking a month and a half) re-discovery of running and walking barefoot (I grew up going barefoot in Hawaii and NEVER had foot problems until coming to the mainland.) is helping me heal and get stronger.Well organized and clearly written, this book has a lot of good information on how to start slowly and build up your feet, the physiological reasons that support walking and living in minimal shoes, and how walking barefoot can support a more focused and less stress-filled life.I've only been doing this a short time and have already begun to feel positive changes to the injured ligaments around my knees (I was wearing braces every time I went walking or worked outside for the past year or so.) and the healing of an incredibly painful bunion.Since going barefoot more, gardening and walking and hiking barefoot, the muscles in my legs have strengthened and I've not even thought about wearing a brace when walking or going up stairs. I'm able to walk 10 miles or more at a time with almost no pain during or after to my foot. At 54, I am currently training for my fourth half-marathon race-walk, and my legs are stronger than before, my feet much less painful and my knees and hips not hurting afterward. I credit the method and guidance outlined in this video and their book and look forward to more books and videos from this team.

I thought I did not need to read this book, because I had been a barefoot runner for years. However, I found the information in this book helped improve my toe strength and give me feet stronger than I would have ever gotten from just barefoot running! Michael Sandler really did his research!

Wow. This book really opened up my eyes to how weak our feet have become due to modern day foot wear. The author has been through a lot of pain to get where he is today. He had fallen arches, and had a titanium femur implanted due to an accident. Since he began barefoot walking and running he has had no injuries and his old arch pain is a distant memory. His feet are strong and have developed as our feet should have without shoes. The book also goes over using a forefoot strike when walking or running instead of the heel. Which does make a lot of sense when you read more about the mechanics of our body. His pace for breaking free from your shoes is a slow process, which is good. Your feet have become week due to years of wearing "hand weights"(shoes). Rebuilding the muscles in your feet take time and this book is careful about doing it the right way. There are some parts that are a little to hippie for me but didn't ruin the book or reading experience at all.

Having purchased their Barefoot Running book when it first was published, and then their DVD, I guess you could say I'm a FAN! The authors' enthusiasm for a barefoot lifestyle is obvious, but they back it up with a lot of information. They also advise taking it slowly and really being patient as you run or walk barefoot. I live in the Pacific Northwest and between the regular rain, cold temperatures, and grit and ice melting chemicals on the roads, I'm forced to wear shoes for outside activities in the winter. However, in the spring, summer, and fall I'm barefoot as much as possible, and loving it. With this book pretty much anyone can at least incorporate some barefoot time, and here is everything you need to know to do it!

I recommend this book to everyone , it offered a way to a healthy life style and all Free. Since reading this book I now have increased my barefoot walking . And feeling much better for it.

was what i expected

....so könnte man die Botschaft dieses Buches zusammenfassen.MIchael und Jessica Sandler gehen sehr ausführlich auf unterschiedlichste Aspekte des barfüssigen Gehens ein.Dabei lassen sie keine Frage unbeantwortet. Der Leser bekommt schon nach wenigen Seiten eine unstillbare Lust,die Schuhe aus zu ziehen und selbst barfuss draussen spazieren zu gehen.
