Q and A

Q: I'm suddenly reading about barefoot running and minimal footwear everywhere I go. What's the benefit? Is it safe? Is it something I should try?

A: Great question! While barefoot running has been an underground trend for years, mainstream media and a growing body of scientific research has recently improved the public's knowledge about barefoot training and it's benefits. The concept of being closer to barefoot while you walk, run, or participate in other activities began with the studies of various tribes who run extreme distances all their lives while barefoot, or with minimal protection on their feet. Not only do these people have a very low injury rate, but they are also fast, efficient, and often having a lot of fun doing it!
