10000 Steps: Day 10 – Barefoot Shoes arrived this morning.

As promised my barefoot shoes arrived this morning at around 10am. I got them opened and put them on and they felt really comfortable out of the box. Unfortunately I was feeling super crappy so I basically led around in them all day feeling sorry for myself!

At around 8pm we went out for a walk to make sure that I kept up with the 10000 steps a day and I wore the barefoot shoes to see how they were. I was really surprised how good they felt and I managed a 4.34 mile walk with no calf sleeve and had no shin splits or knee pain at all which is amazing! My foot also felt much better and the feeling of having something under my foot has almost gone now. I am so glad that I went ahead and bought some of these shoes and I think that I am going to be much better using these shoes compared to my old walking shoes which I am pretty sure caused the foot issues in the first place. The barefoot shoes are also super light so they feel really good and I felt much less tired at the end of the walk even though I was super sick and struggling due to the man flu!

The walk this evening took 1:17:51 and we walked 4.34 miles and when we got home I was on 11297 steps so the walk was roughly 9297 steps as I was on about 2000 steps when we left home.

It had started to get cold again too so my nose was really running and it was difficult to breath due to cold!

We were surprised how many people were out in the streets tonight compared to the last couple of weeks as well I guess that people are get ready for the lock down restrictions to be lifted a bit more on Monday and we could see some of the non-essential shops getting ready to open which is nice.
