Walking Barefoot

Still can't run because of my ankle, think it's going to take awhile to recover. In the meantime, went for barefoot walks followed by swimming for recovery.

Interestingly, it would seem my barefoot walking gait is still quite different from when I'm wearing my Classics. While I consciously use a forefoot strike for both, I tend to land much more on the ball when barefoot than when shod.

This is consistent with my observations on the previous barefoot run. Seems like this is how the body copes with rougher terrain, since I do not walk this way at home.

Looks like it really takes quite a bit of actual barefoot time to get a proper feel of the 'right' form.
