barefoot running

I'll start to run barefoot, but there are different opinions about how to do it: build up slowly or switch to complete barefoot running immediately. I let you decide!

I'm running about thrice a week. How often should I run barefoot?

17% (30) Once or twice is enough, shoes for the other runs
21% (37) I just do my usual three runs, but always barefoot
61% (105) My feet need more training, so I have to run more than thrice a week, always barefoot
