Thanks for sharing with us. There are so many direct and indirect (some I'm still learning about, like you) to running barefoot. Glad you are doing some barefoot on a hard surface, as this really helps you improve your form (and straighten your toes, apparently!). Toes crossed my toes straighten up some more.

also I feel that there is a natural “reflexology” that goes on while being barefoot or near barefoot … its a different “high” than I’ve ever had running in clunky shoes with build up heels (I’ve always hated that as I am a “toe” runner).
I am sure you will find your toes are straight soon!

I've already notice that I'm faster at putting the Five Fingers on. I'm really enjoying the feel of them. Can't wait until I can run in them like you! Thanks, Anna.

My pinkie toes are still curled - it's just the way they are. But I can slip on the FFs quickly without fidgeting with the toe bits. It takes many toe stubbings to learn your lesson... and you will still probably bump your toes into things. ouch ouch ouch I didn’t realise you were so knew to FFs.
