Be 'thankful' when you step on glass or metal fragments laced with flesh-eating bacteria ........ even soursop juice will not help this time :biggrin:

There are shoes for barefoot running which is designed to be as close to barefoot as possible while giving protection to your feet.

Good luck with connecting to the earth/Mother Nature by running barefoot on concrete, asphalt or polyurethane. :rolleyes:

Running barefoot is a fad. No pair of Vibrams will prevent injuries when your running form is poor. Also, say hello to blisters and calluses.

http://www.npr.org/blogs/13.7/2012/06/07/154309338/barefoot-running-paleo-fact-or-paleo-fad

At the "Running Barefoot" website — which features the skeletal biology work of Lieberman and his colleagues — there's a great FAQ designed for people who may want to give barefoot running, or running with minimal shoes, a try. I like the site's disclaimer, too: "Please note that we present no data on how people should run, whether shoes cause some injuries, or whether barefoot running causes other kinds of injuries. We believe there is a strong need for controlled, prospective studies on these issues."

Barefoot runners can be, as the Well blog phrases it, "disproportionately enthusiastic and evangelical." Lieberman, who himself runs barefoot, adds into the mix the sensible voice of a scientist who's about hypothesis-testing and not paleo-fads.

i though we wear shoe to protect from nails, thumbtack and broken glass. This is a step back from these protection.

for tropical climate with frequent ponding and puddles, shoes and soles protect you from getting infected with germs, worms and bacteria which can easily creep into your body from your barefeet.

Dont have to be barefoot all the time..just the 30 minutes to get 'Earthing' and discharge the bad energy....

the whole purpose is to run injury free..nothing more. Not about earthing or skying, or protection or what shit... it only shows that this world is made up of people who see things differently and that is why people become friends when they think the same.
