Connect with the trail

By Backcountry.com Employee December 11, 2011

I've been hiking barefoot around the Wasatch and Southern Utah and it's been an amazing experience. Strengthening muscles that haven't been used properly my whole life and simply enjoying bi-pedal motion more. I decided to start trail-running again and wanted to find a barefoot shoe that could protect my feet without too much coddling. These trail gloves are it. Wear em without socks and take it easy if you haven't been doing anything barefoot. These shoes require a different stride and running technique. If you haven't been practicing, expect to start off very slow, but get excited for less knee pain and more fulfilling trail runs down the road.
