About barefoot running

According to the Barefoot Runners Society, this trend brings runners down to the bare earth and is said to be a more natural way of practicing the sport. Barefoot runners say it's “changing the running world one odd look at a time.” The eclectic group of barefoot runners is leaving its footprint across the country--primarily on sand, grass and pavement--with the belief that it promotes a more natural running posture than running with shoes. You may have seen their amphibious-looking minimalist footwear gracing the pavement too. Barefoot runners tout medical advice to back up their beliefs and nostalgic childhood memories of running shoeless.
