Listen to your body. Over 10 years ago I switched to being barefoot, or minimalist shoes depending on the situation. I no longer get cortisone shots in my knees and I no longer have any back pain. It just works for me. Take the transition very slow, or you will possibly injure yourself and then say "barefoot running/walking wrecked my feet/knees...".
