Wow. 3 years since this reddit started, and we now have 3,182 subscribers. Welcome! I'm really glad that so many of us have chosen to walk this path, or at least interested enough in barefooting to subscribe.

Since our founding 3 years ago, it has become clearer with each day why this reddit exists. Looking at /r/BarefootRunning where we splintered from, there are almost no posts about barefooting, and few posts about running even. It's almost all about shoe discussions, and the 2nd post from the top is a post about how many people there have become shoe collectors.

Suddenly, my rant from 3 years ago doesn't seem so far fetched anymore.

Due to being really busy lately, I've not been performing my mod duties fully. I apologize. A few hours ago, I removed from our front page several posts about shoes. As mentioned in the sidebar, this isn't us being elitist. It's to make the discussions here more focused. The posts about shoes are few, but it's important that we draw a line here, or else, we might find ourselves having the same kinds of discussion as /r/BarefootRunning, just with fewer subscribers.

It's great to see all of you here, here's to more years of wandering the earth barefoot.
