[pct-l] Trail Shoes vs Barefoot

[Lonetrail at aol.com (Lonetrail@aol.com)]

If you?ve ever read any Appalachian trail journals you probably have read  
about these two sisters who hiked the trail barefoot? turned around, and hiked  
it in the opposite direction? still barefoot.  Isis and Jackrabbit talk  about 
their legendary 2001 yo-yo thru-hike, their trailnames, and how/why they  did 
it barefoot
 
Barefoot hiking is simply hiking without footwear.  While to some  strolling 
through the woods shoeless may seem dangerous and unhealthy, walking  barefoot 
through natural terrain is a natural and traditional practice for which  
human feet were designed and continue to be totally efficient and sufficient.  For 
more information on the health of walking barefoot and general  information 
of interest to barefooters, visit _The Society for Barefoot Living_
