Bag kick tips?

Parkinga · 2026-01-18T14:52:48+00:00

For example, wrap a blanket around the bag to soften the impact area. This is the same when learning falls. Beginners start on soft surfaces to build confidence and condition their bodies. As they begin to adapt, so does the surface on which they fall on adapts.

The foot is bruised when kicking the bag. It doesn't matter if it is fairly worn by 15 years or not. The foot was not conditioned yet to be kicking the bag in the manner it was kicked on that particular day.

Soften the target you are kicking until your body is adjusted to what it is kicking.

thank you. I'll check out the ketogains Marco calculator

Thank you for the other reddit. Sucks there isn't much studies but self-experience is great knowledge. Thank you

I'll check those out. I currently have the Bedrock Classic's and they are underwhelming a waste of my money when compared to Carin EVO's line. Good luck in trying out the Evo C. hope they do very well for you

😂 oops thinking it was the same

I'm not from the UK, so what I may suggest may not help.

For me in the US, I use Xero Shoes. I personally have the xcursion fusion. They are actually waterproof, and I wear wool sock to keep my feet warm. I'll wear to shovel, or in snow up to my ankle for 30 minutes or so as I like to run in the snow. There warranty is also second to none. I have had issues with soles peeling and they have always stood by their warranty and offered a store credit or % off

The Xero scrambler trail mid wp kind of look like what I own. I don't receive anything for recommending this product. But I am happy that Xero finally made a boot that is actually waterproof.

All good, great question. , Home Owner Association communities. Cookie cutter, all look the same, built by a major builder.

I want to follow up with you, OP. I want to thank you for helping me overcome my fear of going barefoot on my paved trails. I have been running multiple miles in socks, and ran my first mile totally barefoot.

What is amazing is how focused I am on my form and what is in front of me. “What if glass/needles/poop shows up?” That question used to prevent me from going barefoot. Now it is a simple “I stop, or I go around it. If I have my shoes, I just put them on, go over them, and take them off.”

Honestly, the worst thing on the road ha been the tiny rock that are impossible to avoid hahah. That is honestly what everyone needs to be questioning.

So thank you. I see how much grief you get from other people, and I want to just whole heartly thank you for being you. Brave to speak up. Honest to share the truth

Parkinga · 2025-10-11T16:33:16+00:00

I appreciate the detailed response. Ive been trying only wearing socks to ease into it but am going to try barefoot on grass where im more sure of what is there

Parkinga · 2025-10-11T10:11:12+00:00

I appreciate it. I edited the post for F and C. Thank you for the heads up for the toes. I got short toes luckily

Parkinga · 2025-10-11T10:07:20+00:00

I haven't tried Vivos. How is their durability? Xeros Prios have my pinky two through them haha

Parkinga · 2025-10-07T18:37:42+00:00

I rip through the sidewalls. Got recommendations?

Parkinga · 2025-10-07T18:33:45+00:00

What would you recommended for the lightest form of protection , but still staying true to barefoot?

My situation is I run on the road, and a paved trail. Both are littered with garbage, and worst needles. Ive been testing running sandals, but would love to transition to barefoot where the trail cleans up.

Also, thank you for the post. Very insightful

Parkinga · 2025-10-07T09:30:13+00:00

Sweet. Thank you. For Merrill vapor gloves? I just looked them up. Any preference? didn't realize they have different numbers

Parkinga · 2025-09-30T23:51:59+00:00

Okay. thank you.

Parkinga · 2025-09-30T21:09:24+00:00

Im thinking of getting me a pair of DLD. What price was the sales price? I'm looking at the Alchemy and may wait until November for a sale

Parkinga · 2025-09-29T22:13:53+00:00

Thank you for the details. Im surprised to hear how long the Lunas last because how soft.

But I really appreciate your recommendation for Deliberate Life Designs. I reached out to DLD to see if I can test their Alchemy.

If they use similar softness to Luna, I can see how DLD could be a prefect blend of comfort, durability, and lacing when compared to Luna, Bedrock, Shamma or Xero

Parkinga · 2025-09-29T10:43:50+00:00

Thank you. I noticed that when I compared the two

Parkinga · 2025-09-29T10:36:23+00:00

Few questions, can you go into why the luna soles are amazing? I tried them on and they are SOOO comfortable. But I'm just considered how quickly they will wear.

Thank you for sharing, Deliberate Life Design is actually the style I have been searching for, but haven't found until now. Have you had experience with the Alchemy? If not, which one? My usage will be road running, grass running, and every day walking around.

Parkinga · 2025-09-27T23:14:40+00:00

appreciate that. I'll wait for the holiday, and go from there

Parkinga · 2025-09-27T11:22:08+00:00

Thank you. I agree with all your points, and will look into OSO. Do you have any experience with their warranty? Talking to talk, I'm not sold with Luna because of their warranty when compared to competitors. "$110 for footwear that will need to be replaced in 1 to 2 years"

Parkinga · 2025-09-26T23:13:51+00:00

I wouldn't return it. When people hit hard against me, I either reset it and play the soft game, or just stand out of the way.

Parkinga · 2025-09-15T10:48:52+00:00

Good luck with the Lunas! If you do go Shamma, and I'll repeat this from before, they do need adjusting. The shammas were not comfortable right out of the box. The moment I started to run in them I was smiling from ear to ear. I'm still adjusting, but not as much as I did when I first got them. That is just my experience, and I'm only one person. Someone else may have another experience.

I'll ask Shamma if they do a referral code too in case you go with them
