This leads to increased pressure on both the ankle and knee joints, which, in turn, could potentially result in.
THE PROS OF BAREFOOT RUNNING One of the reasons that barefoot running is considered beneficial is that it allows the foot to follow a more natural movement.

Bob and Brads methods freed my frozen shoulder and brought movement and feeling back into my wrist, hand and fingers…before them, nothing worked. Bless these guys, they ars totally amazing. THANK YOU BOB AND BRADxx
I used to always wear boots and now if I use any other shoe my ankles are really weak so I recommend not to wear always the same shoes no matter what. Right now I have been using lots of different hoes and I have been at the beach a lot so I have been barefoot
I’m inspired. I need better posture and I think this could help
I just started wearing barefoot shoes yesterday and I already dig it much more than the typical shoes I’ve worn in the last 20 years of my life. I am a bit concerned about how long they’ll past durability wise.
As an Athletic Trainer, I’ve been transitioning to minimalist shoes, Vivobarefoot specifically, and my feet have never felt stronger. Do you two try to transition patients to walk more naturally or do you have them continue with their normal gait amd focus more on strengthening where they are weak?
Nice video guys. I have been running for the past few years for my school team and enjoy it a lot. I have looked into this a lot already so this was cool to hear about from you guys
agree…..I started wearing vivobarefoot shoes the majority of the time
I can’t find the Irene Davis website with the forefoot running protocol
The human foot is designed to walk in dry fields. No on concert. Or hard surfaces.
Any word on if these can help with medical conditions relating to bone structure in feet?
I hate running or even walking with my heel hitting the ground first. I just feel a shock go all the way up my body right into my teeth. I’ve been walking and running toe first for over 2 years and it feels much better. I also do parkour, so I like the aspect of being silent, which heel first makes impossible. There’s simply more absorption with the the toe first. I definitely do feel a lot more strain on my ankles and top of foot, especially if train hard, but it takes just as long as normal muscle soreness to go away.
Occasional running in short bursts seems natural.
Otherwise, run at your own risk.
these only simulate being barefoot when your not even barefoot at all -_ im a full-time barefooter of 4 years now and its the best decision ive ever made not shopping, dining, or visiting friends, family or any establiments, i dont wear any shoes ever

Barefoot running. Best. Thing. EVER! And I’m talking completely barefoot. No shoes, socks, or any protection. It’s glorious.
I went from not being able to run a mile to being able to run 8 miles. I went from not running at all to running 1,000+ miles in a single year. 500 barefoot. 500 in Xero sandals and Vivobarefoot EVO Pure shoes. Best part… zero pain. No hip or knee pains or anything.
Barefoot does amazing things for my ADHD brain, also.
Oh, and barefoot runners don’t have toughened feet. Their feet are like soft leather.
My first 2 years in the Army I had horrible shin splints that a couple times brought me to tears. I am VERY flat footed and have very wide feet. I switched to a minimalist shoe, I took about a month or 2 of slowly building up my distance in those shoes. And within that time my shin splints completely disappeared.
I prefer running interval sprints barefoot in the park on grass. I have a Morten toe and running in shoes is so painful. When I ran in the military with boots my feet looked like hamburger.
