(And WTF? I wasn't comparing running in shoes to running barefoot... I was comparing running barefoot on concrete to running barefoot in the Jungle.)

Cheap by the standards of running shoes.
Zappos Running Shoes
And if you won't take my word or the prices of running shoes at a bargain online retailer, ask your idol KrazyHorse who is a runner how much running shoes typically cost him.
The actual up-scale model shown in the OP costs $100. Still on the low-end for running shoes.Last edited by Al B. Sure!; January 22, 2011, 23:02."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

But more-so there are infection and disease problems from being barefoot in this type of environment. And most-so, there are lots of sharp and pokey things in the ground, often covered in a thin layer of mud.

Originally posted by Aeson View PostThat is a concern, yes. Ants, mosquitos, and parasites you can't see. Though the wrong type of footwear can be even worse than barefoot in some cases. Straps/seams/whatever that ants can get caught up in. You're protected somewhat from them getting to your skin, but if/when they do it's harder to get them out.

That's why even though the Barefoot Professor up there runs in a city barefoot, he's running in the good parts and everyone else ought to wear something like those Vibram's which are rubber so you don't have to worry about being stabbed."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi
