The big reasons you should run barefoot is that the real potential to run with optimal form is in your ground-feel. When you run barefoot, the full-feel of the ground lets you avoid heel strike, and instead, forces you to adopt a forefoot strike tied to less all-around impact, while keeping your feet fully functional and physically engaged. Even better, nerves change with experience, so the more you run barefoot, the more trained your brain becomes at upholding a proper, low impact forefoot strike when you run in shoes.
