Then I think the book is perfect for you.This book explains and open the world of barefoot running from the nice perspective of Robillard. He is an advanced barefoot runner who started from scratch learning all by trial an error. Every barefoot runner will see himself identified in the book.

A great introduction for me to the world of barefoot running and minimalistic footwear. It's good to know this is something I can work on. After reading Born to Run I needed a more practical books, as in, what do I do now? And this is that book. Very clear, with pics, etc.

This book is a highly informational guide to anyone interested in barefooting, running in minimalist shoes, or just working on your strength and form to prevent injury. It's extremely well-written and informative and gives training schedules, exercises, and advice for both barefooting and a little bit for ultrarunning. He is very open to other opinions and doesn't just preach the whole time, acknowledging the many different ideas of the various barefooting and minimalist running groups.

I began running in minimalist footwear several years ago after reading the inspiring Born to Run. This book does a great job of giving pragmatic advice, exercises and an unbiased point of view. If you're thinking about going barefoot - ease into it. But read this book!

It's a great book. The author is very open with referencing other sources. He also seems rather indifferent to the various schools of thought but rather describes what he considers the main foundations of running barefoot. His exercises are really helpful.

Helped me understand where I need to go from here in my minimalist running. It also helped me understand some things around technique that I hadn't gotten yet.

There is a lot of good info in this book. Not totally pushing hard core barefoot running and really trying to help new barefoot runners.

He's a fearless dork sharing his passion and setting a great example for his kids and the rest of us. Nice work.
