If you want stronger, healthier looking feet, then yes, it’s better to wear minimalist shoes because you’ve got to get your feet to work on their own if you want to bulk up foot strength. The unrestricted, wide, fully flexible fit of minimalist shoes allows your feet to engage freely, which is the best way to get your feet to work effectively.
Its easier to run barefoot because it deepens your reflex coordination to land with an improved forefoot strike that’s significantly more responsive and SAFE than running in thick cushioned running shoes.
Running shoes with a large cushioned heel was found to be a source of injury by signfiicantly increasing heel bone stress as compared with flatter running shoes.
Forefoot running is better for your feet than heel strike running because it was found to reduce total loading over the foot by increaing cadence.
Forefoot running is much better for the arch than heel strike running because it enhances the elastic power of the arch while reducing impact severity on the arch, too!
