Barefoot running is great, if you're a caveman. Before shoes were in existence, we roamed the earth barefoot on natural, uneven surfaces (grass, sand, rocks). Now, we run barefoot on concrete and pavement- Not the way our feet were meant to be treated. So please remember if you want to run barefoot, to do it in the sand or the grass, NOT the street!
Alysiak is right- no two feet are alike, so how can you expect one style of shoes to fit every foot? I had the cutest orange and white Nike's that I wore on my daily run...until my arches, ankles, knees and hips began to ache. Good shoes really do make a difference- I got professionally fitted and couldn't say enough about the experience!
