Today's run was on paths that had been churned up by a race a few days ago. Sticky, slippy and wet mud everywhere. I could see that it wasn't just me who slided around.
Crazy to think that over hundred years ago young soldiers spent years dug deep into this soil and so many lost their lives here.

After yesterday's battle of great bottled goodies, I was surprised that I managed to clock in a one hour 8km. This is what flat tarmac does to your running. My normal routes and terrain tend to be around 5km for an hours running. Sadly this part of Belgium it's not a done thing to say hello to others, I think the "score" was about 3 out of 10 nodded back, else it was just a blank stare back. I even tried Mojn, 'ow'do, Guten tag and a cheery wave.
Nylon love kinda morning… soft shimmer on the thighs, purple stripes doing their thing, and my barefeet 24/7 attitude already claiming the office floor like it’s a personal comfort zone.
Enby visibility turned up without even trying… just existing, just glowing, just sliding into the weekend with a wink.
The cozy-meets-sexy combo hits different today… thick thighs saves weekends, apparently… and mine seem to be clocking in early.
Feeling good, feeling confident, feeling that purple love all the way down to my toes. 💜🦶✨

There's the first boy sitting with summer clothes on!

Hey guys! I'd like to ask something kind of... specific?
I notice I'm doing more drawings with #barefoot boys lately, but I think I'm turning repetitive (at least in public...) Got any advice for this?
Changing the model... I revisited some drawings of Daniel, and boy! I need to draw him more in summer clothes (although is winter)

How beneficial are #barefoot #shoes or wide toe #boxshoes?

A Return from Trail Glove 7 to Normal Shoes
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Within the last week I tried to wear shoes that I bought two or three years ago. I tried them on because although I love the Trail Glove 7 shoes I don't like their durability. I find that they last from four to six months before being worn enough for my heel to hit the ground hard enough to become painful.
In theory I should work on my stride, to change how the foot strikes the ground, and ensure that I have a softer, more gentle foot fall. In practice the shoes feel fine until the soles of the shoes get worn beyond a certain point, and that's when impacting the ground begins to hurt, especially after walking for an hour and a half or more.
The Issues
During the COVID honeymoon, when it was great for walkers, and hikers to go on two to three hour hikes every day, I took advantage. Over time I noticed that I was wearing through shoes fast so I replaced them regularly.
Worn Inner Heel
I often put my shoes on without untying the shoelaces so the inside of the shoe, where the heel rubs the back of the shoe gets shredded over time, and eventually the plastic is exposed and this provoked blisters. That's one of the tells that I would need to swap shoes.
Worn Soles
The second tell is worn soles. I walked so much and so far that within months the tread would be gone, and eventually, when the rubber was gone, and my shoes would become wet from beneath if I stepped into a puddle, then it was time, once again to change shoes.
Rubbing the Top of my Foot
I really liked the Merrel Moab Three, or shoes with a similar shoes. They're good for daily walks and hiking, where you don't need ankle support. I walked with these for thousands of kilometres over many, many years.
Over time I noticed that the top of my foot, near the toes was rubbing against the inside of the shoe, to the point of risking blisters. Initially I thought that they had changed the design or materials of the shoes, and that was why they were more uncomfortable but now I think the conclusion was wrong.
Plenty of Cycling
This summer I have cycled a lot, especially by my standards. Usually I would cycle 1800km or less and this year I cycled five thousand two hundred and eighty. This isn't to highlight the cycling, but rather to highlight that my feet were used differently.
I went from a high impact sport like walking and hiking, two to three hours a day, to long bike rides. My feet had time to rest, recover, and I believe, to shrink again. The shoes that felt uncomfortable are now comfortable again
And Finally
I walk a lot, so I like shoes that are cheap and easy to replace. Barefoot shoes are not cheap and easy to replace. They are niche, so I order them online. If I can revert to cheap decathlon shoes, once again, I will be happy.
Nach einem sonnigen Start des Dezembers regnet es heute wieder. #barfuß ist bei Regen und 3° Celsius die beste Regenkleidung auch auf dem #Fahrrad. Füße trocknen schneller und lassen sich leichter reinigen als Schuhe.
Die Füße werden kalt. Hauptsächlich durch die Nässe. Die Temperatur ist nachrangig. Das Wasser viel Energie gut aufnehmen kann, entzieht den Füßen sehr schnell die Wärme. Zum Glück sind sie gut durchblutet und werden schnell wieder warm.
