I think barefootability in snow may all revolve around blood flow and core temp. I say that because of today. I woke up this AM and first thing, saw that the bird feeders needed refilling so I walked out bf to get them and bring them inside to refill. The freezing factor on the feet was...

Was just curious. Idk, most people make the sensible, obvious choices about footwear and some others, well, some others, they...they, oh who knows about them:|:

Were you in powda or packed snow? Speaking of sandals, I did a good hike today in them, twas good seeing as how I'm not rushing out to court more potential frostbite, though it was a lot of fun while it lasted

The spots were dark blue and looked subcutaneous and like they'd been made by a blue sharpie marker. The blood blister one was larger and yeah looked like a blood blister. FWIW

It could definitely have been something else. As i mentioned before, I first thought it was just a small 'blood blister' and ignored it. But then after more snow footing, 1 spot on one toe became 3 or 4 small spots on 2 toes and one toe was reasonably swollen. So I backed off.

Update on my toes with apparently minor frostbite: they turned black and partial amputation is on the horizon. Well, not really. They were fully recovered after a couple days. I layed off the barefeet in snow for several days (which gave me a feeling of being cheated outta some fun, ha along...

Those wool slippers are bangin

We definitely gotta have an ice water tub at the future GTG :dude:

I think 99% of people do not relish the thought of coldness but some are willing to endure some of it for a perceived worthwhile return.

Love. I can't say that's how I feel about cold showers. For me, they are definitely hard to take but afterwards I'm always happy I did it because I feel great.

I felt like my feet adapted, and I guess you could say 95% of them did because there are no issues (currently) with them except for a couple spots on two toes. But i gotta keep an eye on it cuz Dr Google says frostbite damage can manifest 24-48 hrs later. It's kinda disappointing cuz the feet...

True confessions; After my initial 2 hour bf snow clearing sesh a week ago, I noticed a small 'blood blister' on little toe, figured it was a blister from activity. Walked dogs bf 2x for 50 min each in snow after that, during week. Walked em today bf on snow and icy trail for 1.5 hour. Had a...

At various places here at TH I've seen comic references to the displeasure caused by walking on legos barefoot. Humans. https://www.brickfanatics.com/new-guinness-world-record-set-for-barefoot-lego-walk/

Wow, I am a rank noob. https://runningmagazine.ca/sections/runs-races/norwegian-runner-sets-world-record-for-fastest-barefoot-half-marathon-on-snow/

I'm a fan. I Don't do his stuff regularly but I dig his story Tell us about your wife's journey with it

Yeah, I bundle up the head and torso. Went again today, bf and gym shorts, its a hoot! Now that I'm gaining confidence in cold tolerance with the feet, I'm thinking of going in LI Sound, I haven't been in a month and a half, the water temp is 38* now, I think the coldest I've been in...

I did it cold. I was wondering how that was going to work out because when I did the 2 hours shoveling snow etc, I was working fairly hard and I figured the blood pumping from working could be a factor in making 2 hours doable. But nah, I just got outta the car and started hiking with a hiking...

Today I hiked in the snow with pets for 50 min. bf, feet did well, no problems. Surprised myself again.

No but I was chatting with a super hot ranger in the everglades who's next post was to be the Gates of the Arctic refuge, got me thinking it was a fine career path

Had em?
