Part I of this story on August 22 was The Wart Story. It tells what Brad did to get rid of a stubborn wart on the bottom of his heel. He tried a lot of treatments and ended up having it excised through surgery. After I posted the story, Brad emailed with a follow-up. I'll let Brad tell Part II. (If you scroll down, you'll get to Part I). It's now been 4-1/2 years since the surgery described in your Aug 22, 2012 posting. The wart in that area was completely removed, however, there is a fair …

I'd bet most of us think we are immune to warts. Or we simply never think about them. But we can pick them up in communal showers at the gym, the local pool, or anywhere where people go barefoot.I found an email where the sender told the story of his wart - and included a picture. Here is Brad's story. I used to be that guy who didn't wear shoes. I played volleyball barefoot. Went around the house/yard barefoot. Took showers at the gym barefoot. I'm not sure where it happened, but …

My library includes most of the books about feet and foot care. Many are old and are no longer in print. Every so often a new one is released. I was recently sent a copy of The Barefoot Book: 50 Great Reasons to Kick Off Your Shoes by L. Daniel Howell. Mr. Howell, PhD, has a doctoral degree in biochemistry and teaches human anatomy and physiology at Liberty University in Virginia. His bio states that he is an avid barefoot runner with more than 2000 shoeless miles on his feet, and leads a …

When I posted the piece the other day about going barefoot I remembered a great new footwear that was important to tell readers about. I saw these last summer at the Outdoors Show in Salt Lake City and I almost missed them because they seemed strange. But, they are the right footwear for those wanting a barefoot experience but also wanting to protect their feet. FiveFingers is the first and only footwear to offer the exhilarating freedom of going barefoot—with the protection …

More people are going barefoot then ever before. On a recent business trip to San Antonio, being a people watcher and a foot watcher, I couldn’t help but notice how frequently people go barefoot. Many people are taking this a bit further than I’d choose to do. I noticed several people walking barefoot through the hotel lobby. This was a large upscale hotel in downtown San Antonio. Then I noticed someone in the airport walking around the terminal in bare feet. On the plane coming home were …

I just returned from a conference in San Antonio and have to share a few thoughts on bare feet. Being a people watcher and a foot watcher, I couldn’t help but notice how frequently people go barefoot. Now, mind you, I have no objection to being barefoot. In fact I’m barefoot as I write this post. However many people are taking this a bit farther than I’d choose to do. I noticed several people walking barefoot through the hotel lobby. This was a large upscale hotel in downtown …
