What brought me to barefoot shoes

My feral feet

Early days

One of my earliest memories of running is in slippers, on grass, in our garden, racing my elder sister. Running, playing with a ball, climbing and cycling were activities that I did everyday for at least an hour. When my sister felt competitive, she would challenge me to races.

Primary and secondary school

During primary and early secondary school, I did not wear the white canvas shoes that my schoolmates wore. My mother made me wear some other shoes with more breathable material because I suffered from eczema. It was only in late secondary school that my mother allowed me to wear those cavas shoes that everyone else wore, and I was excited to finally get to be like everyone else.
