Running barefoot means you have a coach at the end of each leg. Our soles have more nerve endings than any other part of the body, and they are there to teach us how to run (and walk) and to avoid techniques which cause pain.
Think about it -- pain is our body's signal that something is wrong. Running barefoot means that our feet feel the ground as we run. If we feel pain, we know we aren't running properly, and we can adjust our gait accordingly. If this pain signal is blocked, we'll just keep on doing what we're doing...and end up with pain later in our back, or shins, or knees.
However, we often forget that the only time it's comfortable to land with impact is when we're wearing shoes. Especially if it's been awhile since we ran around outside in our bare feet, like kids do.
You probably think that your shoes -- those high-tech, high-soled stability shoes you paid a pretty penny for -- are keeping you injury-free. And if you have back, knee or shin pain related to running, you probably think that running barefoot would only make those problems worse!

Inappropriate Dress
