Running with barefeet

There is a movement in running which has the philosophy that barefoot running is the most appropriate method for humans. They believe that trainers can actually promote poor running form as among other things, they promote the landing on the heel and not the ball of the foot. The ball of the foot is where the natural shock absorber of the body is. Poor running technique can damage the heel, knees and even the back. It is also not an efficient form of running.

There are groups of runners who choose to run barefoot and rely on correct running technique and the natural shock absorber in the ball of the foot. The majority of these barefoot runners will run on softer surfaces like grass. These runners believe that they are reducing the risks of injury as they are being forced to run correctly.

It is essential that if you are considering taking up barefoot running that you enter into it carefully to avoid any early stage injuries.

It is sensible to get used to being barefoot. Most practitioners suggest that at least half an hour a day should be spent walking in barefoot along rough surfaces. This will toughen the skin on the soles of the feet. This should take around a month. After a few weeks of this it is suggested for some light jogging. Gradually over the weeks up the pace until you are running.

As you are increasing the pace, you should ensure that you are landing on the balls of your feet and eventually it will be a comfortable process.

Barefoot running is not for everyone and it it possible to adopt correct running form while wearing men’s trainers.
