Well, you know the old saying
Well, you know the old saying "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing" I think this applies here.
If people remove their shoes, go for a run and injure themselves then you can't blame the feet you have to blame the brain that controls the feet.
I wonder if, when I injured myself when wearing my Asic 2110 around 3 years ago the doctor would draw the conclusion that the shoes were defective and caused the injury.
Probably not, he would most likely put the blame on me for running too fast, too slow or running in general (after all we all know we were not made for running, humans were designed to sit on couches watching mind numbing TV).
If barefoot runners get injuries you have to look on it as paying your dues. Nothing is free. Persistance pays off though, bit by bit you do learn.
I have heard a saying that says: you have to practice a skill for around 10,000 hours before you will have mastered it perfectly.
Does a bloke off the street practice 10 hours with a scalpel and call himself a surgeon, or in a flight simulator and call himself a pilot, or knock a golf ball around and become Tiger Woods, why would it be any different with running.
