Hello, all. What a great site! I'm excited to see what I learn from here.
I think I have a slightly different background that quite a few of you. I'm not a runner, nor have I had health problems that I seek to rectify through the wearing of minimalist footwear. I'm just a gal who loves going barefoot. And as a stay-at-home, homeschooling momma, I get to do just that quite a bit of the time. I have known for years that when I have to wear shoes (i.e. have to leave the house) my feet would start to hurt, and I couldn't wait to shed my shoes. I drive my husband nuts because the moment I get in the car, I take my shoes off.
I've only just recently discovered the world of minimalist footwear. My go-to shoes right now are a pair of Northshore water shoes, which I love. Winter has been a challenge though. If it's cold, a pair of wool socks usually does the trick. But I have yet to find a solution for snow.
Excited to see where this journey leads.
Great to have you here! I appreciate having some people who are not runners to help balance things out a little :-)
