Dont your Feet get Cut Open Frequently Im often asked how often I injure my feet while running barefoot. Even more often, I am TOLD that I will injure my feet more often running barefoot I havent found that to be the case shoes actually did more frequent, and more severe and debilitating damage to my feet What injuries caused by shoes Unlike my barefoot injuries, far too much damage from shoes to list here it would be far easier to recall the times that shoes were comfortableBesides relatively frequent and far more severe ankle sprains compared to almost zero while barefoot, my feet were nearly constantly blistered all through grade school and high school. And the worst foot injury, or injuries, and actually both feet, all happened during my first marathon and my only marathon with shoes when my shoes left both my feet completely raw, except the soles. Also my toenails turned black, and during the following week, all my toenails fell off. I know, youre going to tell me that is not unusual for marathoners, or that my shoes probably didnt fit correctly. Do any shoes fit correctly Why should we expect toenails turning black and falling off as a natural part of running long distances Why is any injury considered normal First of all, Ive rarely seen shoes shaped like my feet my toes dont point toward the center, and my outer toes dont curve inward either. Secondly, these injuries almost never happen to barefoot runners and are completely unnecessary Ive completed 7. January 1. 6, including 1. Below, I have listed every memorable foot injury that happened to me while running barefoot including, but not only, in the dozens of marathons Ive completed, but also in the more than 4. I have completed barefoot, and the tens of thousands of miles I have run barefoot in preparation for those races and just for enjoyment. The Fear Factor We are constantly being told mostly by people who havent really tried or studied running barefoot, that we should only run barefoot on natural terrain, like manicured golf courses, and groomed beaches. That humans arent designed to run on hard modern surfaces with broken glass everywhere What I have noticed during my 5. Yes, modern surfaces are hard so we land more gently our soles tell us immediately if we dont. Yes, there is broken glass not everywhere and most of it just lays there as long as were not scuffing our feet along the ground, or trying to push our soles into the glass which our bare soles would let us know immediately to change such mistakes in running technique. Yes, we probably land with too much impact while wearing cushioned shoes to run with the same technique while barefoot but if we were barefoot, we would really WANT to land with less impact. And studies show that simply by removing our shoes, we do cut impact up to 5. IMMEDIATELY. Whats even coolerExperienced runners land with no measurable impact jolting, jarring, pounding, etc. The Reality. The natural terrains we are told might be okay for barefoot running instead of unnatural roads that are nearly as hard as natural stone, are actually much more challenging for barefoot runners which is the reason I recommend people beginning running barefoot, start out on hard rough terrain, like gravel trails, or rough asphalt.
