I've been using a combination of barefoot and more traditional running shoes for 4ish years now. I usually run some of my easy runs on barefoot shoes (once or twice a week), but longer and speedier sessions on Altras ( zero drop and good toe space still! ).

While bringing the barefoot shoes into my running mix I had occasionally some feelings on my ancles, but allways when such happened I reverted back to more cushioned shoes for some days. A definite pro with barefoot shoes is that it really helped with my running dynamics (naturally higher candence) and I feel it has made my calfs stronger, as they were commonly a bit sore after a run, when i started. As others already have suggested: start gradually

Thanks for reminding about this project! Had a look a year back and it looked quite green at the time. Any first hand experience, how did you install it?

You have listed some good options there👍 One additional possibility: what about repurposing an old enterprise workstation, like Dell Optiplex, HP Elitedesk, Lenovo Thinkcentre etc.? They can be bought for around 50-100 e/$. For a similar use case I've been running an Optiplex 7010 SFF (Small form factor) with i5 3XXX and 16G of ddr3 and it has been plenty of powerfull for the purpose.
