I practically live my life barefoot, but I wouldn't dream of running barefoot (unless on the beach). A sports specialist (MD), I'm certain would be more than happy to explain to you what happens to your body when you do :).

The methods I spoke of are the barefoot techniques main emphasis but I wouldnt suggest it until your base strength is up. TOO musch stress on the foot initially. Especially since you have used other forms of movement for years. Your feet may not be ready to work the way they are supposed to. Give it time and stick with barefoot walking before barefoot running. Hopefully your not going barefoot around a junkyard or Detroit then I can see all of the previous hazards that our friend is paranoid to encounter. ;)

User Details are only visible to members.	Barefoot is a growing trend these days. Either really barefoot (saw a gal doing that at the Las Vegas Ragnar - crazy). Or using toe shoes/Vibrams/etc. Theory - humans evolved walking/running barefoot. African distance runners didn't start out with running shoes (neither did South American natives who run all the time in the Andes mountains). Landing on the ball of the foot and rolling the heel down, using hamstrings to propel forward, not quads. Worked on my pose running yesterday. Started with jumping rope and bouncing landing on the ball down to heel, then jump "running in place" then drop rope and move forward trying to keep the same footwork. Takes practice to break bad habits. mrs svc

Your anterior tibilalis muscles are weak which gives you the impression of shinsplints after prolonged exposure to the impacts of running. Once you can handle one mile walking or running like us humans were SUPPOSED to with no heel impact then you can work your way up from there. If you choose a treadmill for training put the incline on AT LEAST a 4% incline to force your body off your heels and strengthen the muscles without over extending your stride.
