Xero Shoes

Look, some people are good at math and some people aren’t. It must be the same with barefoot running. Some can; some can’t.

Really? Do you need to have perfect biomechanics, and super-human feet to run without shoes?

Shoes that are advertised as “barefoot” or “minimalist shoes” are the same as being barefoot, right?

I mean, multi-billion dollar companies wouldn’t lie to us just to sell product, would they? 😉

Once you’ve gotten the hang of barefoot walking or running or hiking, you should go everywhere and do everything barefoot. It’s only natural, right?

Sure, but so are uranium, hemlock, and cow poop 😉

It seems obvious that if you’ve been wearing high-heeled running shoes (or just high-heels), that you’ll want to transition slowly to barefoot by switching to a shoe with a lower heel… then lower… then lower… then lower, until you can handle barefoot.

Before you try running in bare feet you should walk in bare feet. That’ll prepare your feet.

Or will it?
