Go Barefoot!

“When my runners train
barefoot, they run faster and
suffer fewer injuries.”
Vin Lananna,
head-coach, Stanford
University

Lets not forget our origins…
Both never wore NIKEs
Antelopes could sprint
only short distances
But hunters ran long distances, finally spearing the fatigued animals

Shod for half a century…In 1964

Still, the Jury is out
“Born to Run" author McDougall concluded :
“Running shoes may be the most destructive force to ever hit the human foot."
But podiatric groups haven't taken a stand on barefoot running. Because evidence is lacking.There are no definitive conclusions.
