Barefoot running is safe, and is actually safer than the most cushiest running shoe! There’s converging evidence from multiple lines of research showing that running barefoot produces the most optimal coordination of safer, more efficient mechanical outputs that do more to protect you from injury than in running thick cushioned running shoes.
Forefoot running was found to do more to strengthen the toes than heel strike running.
One of the main reasons heel toe running (heel strike running) is so bad is because it produces a long list of impact forces that directly causes most running injuries. One form of impact thats highly injurious produced in heel strike running, but not in forefoot running, is known as a stress-wave.
Heel striking when running produces a heavy impact force, thats not porduced in forefoot running, that directly damages the lumbar disks, resulting in lower back pain and stiffess.
The Vivobarefoot Achilles Sandal is like modern Huarache Running Sandals with its 3mm flexible rubber outsole that allows you to run with barefoot running simulation and forefoot strike precision.
