I mentioned a few weeks back that I got my first pair of Gladsoles (barefoot running sandals). I have been wearing them now for quite a while and still really love them (hence why they are a Friday Favorite - duh :)). Feel free to check out my original review of them here.
I love wearing them to run (extremely minimalistic "shoe"), walk the dog, get groceries, hit up the beach, do PiYo in my living room, and just wear out and about. The more you wear them, the more they form to your feet and become like a second skin.

I've never tried running barefoot. I think fear of my clumsiness and stubbing a toe has kept me from it. I think it would be worth a try.
ReplyDeleteI've heard such great things about Gladsoles and would love to give them a try! (And they are CUTE too!)
ReplyDeleteThese seems super cute and comfortable. I think I'm more afraid of stepping on something that will mess up my knee or ankle.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried barefoot running. Living in the city, I'm worried about cutting my feet open or something like that. I think gladsoles is the closest I would get to barefoot.
ReplyDeleteI am a diabetic and my feet are sensitve
ReplyDeleteThose are awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI've heard wonderful things and as someone who much rather prefers barefoot, I think I'm about ready to get a pair!...unless i was to win! :)
ReplyDeleteI come across gladsoles a week or two ago and instantly Fell in love!!! I do nearly all my yard work barefoot but I've never run barefoot. I will when I get these though!!
ReplyDeleteI can never ran barefoot. They are VERY cute and would love to wear them out and about :)
ReplyDeleteI was unaware that one could even wear sandals while running! This seems to be a dream come true!!
ReplyDeleteI've never ran barefoot before but I would love to try. These shoes look great!
ReplyDeleteI have heard great things about gladsoles! I use vibram five fingers and love barefoot running!
ReplyDeleteI'm dying to try a pair of gladsoles!
ReplyDeleteI have run barefoot before and my feet seem to attract all the pebbles and stickers around.
ReplyDeleteI haven't found the right shoes, and I'm glad you reviewed these because they look perfect!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried it, but have always wanted to!
ReplyDeleteUgh been wanting these all summer!
ReplyDeleteI've never worn gladsoles before. I dabbled in running in vibrams for a while. These would be fun to try!
ReplyDeleteNever tried barefoot running, but I'd love to try it.
ReplyDeleteI have never tried running barefoot....I feel like my feet would have issues, since I have collapsing arches. Would love to try though!
ReplyDeleteI have not ever tried barefoot running but I do own minimalist running shoes which I love!
ReplyDeleteI'm curious but I haven't tried barefoot running. I'm on the fence since developing pf issues last spring but would still like to try them out.
ReplyDeleteI've run in Vibram 5 fingers, but that is as close as I've gotten.
ReplyDeleteI love glad soles! I got a pair and have walked all around in them and even did a crossfit workout in them! So awesome.
ReplyDeleteI have run in Nike Frees and I almost died. Is that close enough to barefoot running? I have really flat feet.
ReplyDeleteI have not tried barefoot running. The soles of my feet are sensitive so I like the idea of putting a sandal on them first before I try it.
ReplyDeleteI've never run barefoot before. I'm afraid of cutting my foot or just major calf pain from not being used to it.
ReplyDeleteNope. I haven't heard of them until now.
ReplyDeleteI have tried some minimalist shoes and barefoot running on sand. Can't say that I have loved the minimalists I have tried but I am always game to try new things and these are intriguing!
ReplyDeleteCan't say I've really ever tried running barefoot before (unless you count super-short distances)! I'm somewhat worried about broken glass and infected needles on the streets, but have been interested in the minimalist shoe side of it! I'd never heard of minimalist sandals til now!
ReplyDelete(That dog is absolutely adorable. <3 )
Can't say I have ever run barefoot! I guess I would worry about stubbing my toe, stepping on a rock or cutting my foot or something!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried it before, since I'm a bigger guy and theres a good bit of impact from my stride. I'm open to giving it a try though. Always willing to try things once, or twice.
ReplyDeleteI have pretty sensitive feet, so I've never thought of running barefoot.
ReplyDeleteI have run barefoot on the beach before. The shells hurt.

ReplyDeleteI haven't run barefoot--it totally scares me that I'll get injured. Great post & giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI haven't ran barefoot before mainly because I'm nervous about my plantar fasciitis! It would definitely be an adjustment but I can so see myself wearing these out and about and gradually incorporate them into my running!
ReplyDeleteI'm most worried about stepping on something with barefoot running which is why these would be great!
ReplyDeleteI have tried it and plan on retraining myself to run barefoot.
