We, the barefoot community, would love to get our own icon. Just as for example the electrical bikes

Sorry @Nicorun just one question -- is this a request to add barefoot running as a new Sport Type, specifically? If so, would a tag such as the exising "workout", "long run" suffice? Why or why not and are there other statistics that are important to differentiate?

Good morning @Soren ,

Good question indeed. Well, seen the benefits of the barefoot, or even huaraches running, si would say the sport looks different and your idea of considering it as a new one seems appealing to me.

I was rather thinking of the shoe logo when selecting the equipment..I like the idea to make it visible as the benefits of lightfoot running are numerous.

I just don't really know what the best way would be.

What would you recommend?

Kind regards,

Nicolas

Thanks for the further clarification, I see you simply want to emphasize the fact that you're running barefoot or with minimal footwear. I'm not sure what the best way to go about this is, but I'd definitely recommend looking into customizing your gear if you haven't yet. We appreciate your comments, thanks for your participation.

Would this mean we can have an icon? Just like the eBike Vs the bike?
