I get that barefoot (or barefoot ish) running is counterintuitive. I was won over by reading Born to Run because I could relate to the author's frustration that everyone's proposed solution to his running problems was to "get a bicycle" and was persuaded by the idea that so many of the modern running ailments started when shoe companies began adding all the extra support and thereby changing our natural stride. By running barefoot, so the theory goes, we stay on the balls of our feet, as we are designed to do, instead of running on our heels just because we have thick soles to absorb the shock. But I am not a medical person and can only offer my own anecdotal support that running in Vibrams has kept me injury free for over ten years. Plus they're kind of punk.🤘

@bitterirony,
Good morning! I hope you know when I said "That's a big no"... I didn't mean you were wrong for running like this. I grew up out in the country... we had a chicken coupe, gravel roads, all that. I have some memories of running around outside barefoot, but fast forward to now... ouch? Lol... I just didn't want you to think I was downing you for wearing these awesome-looking things. Anything we can do to be "grounded" is of a positive nature for sure! Hope you have a great day today!
Wes...
