- arohner 18y agoMaybe. That depends on the conditioning of your feet. The other big takeaway from the article is that if you are going to wear shoes, the less padding, the better.
- Radix 18y agoIt might be possible to run barefoot on dirt, but not on a track! Until recently the local highschool track had nothing on it but a thin film of rubber on a solid cement. I remember being unable to run very well on it (hard), but I could run through my back yard even when we still had the underbrush and briers, I was in better shape when I was younger. ...I wish people didn't think going barefoot was socially unacceptable.
