I’m (Barefoot Ken Bob) still here, still running barefoot, just not as much as when I was a 50-year old kid nearly 20 years ago, mostly walking, but still barefoot almost all of the time (Hair is even more platinum than in this photo).
I’m in the process of rebuilding the Barefoot Running website, after getting tired of hackers trying to send you to disreputable websites.
Be patient, I don’t want to make this a full-time job. I still want to get out and run and walk, and my dog is waiting for an evening walk now…
See ya later or sooner, but not right now.
Hello Mr Barefoot Ken Bob,
I am a long time follower from your 80’s style web site. I was wondering if I could purchase a signed book? I live in Toronto Canada. I go through all podcasts where you were a guest and enjoy listening to your stories.
Thanks and Regards,
Anton Reyes
Thanks Anton, your book is on the way!
-Enjoy and Have FUN!

Hi Ken Bob, I really hope the site is back up and running soon! This is my most favourite website in the entire world!
Hey Nibs,
It will always be a “work in progress”, as I will be adding articles, new & old, occasionally.
Hey Mr Barefoot Ken Bob, I hope you’re keeping well. I am a huge fan of you and a longtime lurker of your site! I am eagerly waiting for your website to come back. I hope it’s soon.
Hey Mason,
It will always be a “work in progress”, as I will be adding articles, new & old, occasionally.
Hi Ken Bob,
I hope you’re doing well. I was just reading the website a few weeks ago, and I just saw your rebuilding-in-progress site today. I hope you’re enjoying your barefoot walks with you dog and I hope everyone is well.
Great to hear from you Aika! I remember running barefoot in the rain for several miles in Los Angeles Marathon 2011 with You, Merlon, Caity & Todd (not pictured, probably taking the picture)…

Hi Ken Bob, yes, this was the marathon we swam through. It was my favorite marathon year. Thanks for the reply and I hope all of well with you. If you ever have a get together, I will be sure to come down for a visit.
Also, we did not get our shoes wet!
Looking forward to the new site!
Thanks Chris.
