When you run barefoot, the ground-feel triggers reflexive mechanical responses that train your brain to keep your mechanics in a safe, low impact range. The opposite occurs in thick cushioned running shoes because the proprioceptive feedback loop is blocked at the feet. In this way, the neuromuscular and reflexive systems are prevented from keeping your natural stride, and is why mechanical impairments easily arise, but are quickly corrected as soon as you run barefoot.
