Why is barefoot running bad for you?

If you have spent your whole life in shoes and suddenly go for a barefoot run, you will get hurt. It is possible to adapt your feet slowly and change the way you run to make it possible to run barefoot, but it is a lot of work and takes a lot of time. Most people do not have the patience and therefore, they should not run barefoot.

Is barefoot running safe for all foot types?

It can be safe for all foot types, but only in moderation. I'm sure there are some people who are unable to run barefoot, but for the most part, all foot types should be able to run barefoot. If you are going to run barefoot, you have to work into it slowly, no matter what type of feet you have. You would have to limit your first few runs to probably under 20 minutes and slowly build up time or distance.


What are the advantages of barefoot running?

Barefoot running is quite possibly the best way for a person to run. Our bodies have taken hundreds of thousands, if not multiple millions of years to evolve a gait that enables us to run with ease. Until comparatively recently footwear wasn't an option, so as a result our musculature and bone structure is designed to run barefoot. Barefoot running can be considered to be much kinder to the knees and sole of the foot. It is quite possibly a way in which to run that will help to prevent injury. However, as with all things, it is wise to check with an expert if there is any intention of doing many miles of barefoot running for long periods of time.
