Barefoot running is healthier for the feet because it not only makes the foot’s muscles, soft tissues, nerves and blood vessels stronger, barefoot running also engages a forefoot strike and higher cadence which prevents abnormal foot motions and postures, like over-pronation.
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.
The muscles and nerves deep within the foot improve in strength best with increased barefoot activity but progressively dengerates with routine use of thick cushioned running shoes.
Barefoot running does the most good for reversing the damgaing mechanical impairments caused by cushioned running shoes.
Stability running shoes actually cause injuries because there’s more scientific conclusiveness showing that these shoes either cause overpronation or restricts the natural pronatory movements of the foot in ways that pushes the kinetic chain up the leg away from the natural order. Conversely, running barefoot or in barefoot-like footwear is one of the best ways to get immediate improvements in pronation control.
