Is it really better for avoiding injuries?

it would be extremely painful

He's a big guy.

For you

Humans evolved to run, but not on asphalt

Go wild in the jungle, forests, dirt, lbeaches. As soon as you see pavement, asphalt. Put the shoes on. Feet absorbing that much shock will cause damage to the spine.

imagine stepping on some glass or some shit, also nobody wants to see your disgusting feet
nigga you can get running shoes for like 20 yuros

sounds like an easy way to break your foot/sprain your ankle.

Not everyone has weak ankles like yours, user.

sh-shut up

It’s good for form, run on a football pitch or soft trails barefoot, proper supportive running shoes for everything else

15 minute 5k runner here, get a pair of Nike zoom flys and hit your local park run

That's why our ancestors were smart and gave birth to our greats. They could use tools to cut them down.

our ancestors also invented footwear so we dont have to walk barefooted and creep everyone out with our feet

from what i understand, somteimes is better to run barefoot because it forces you to run in a more natural way: when you run barefoot you put more presure on the middle and front part of the feet an so reducing pressure on the knees.

obviusly not running in concrete

>ynr that autistic french user's post about how humans weren't meant to sprint because of long grass

I would start with minimalist shoes so you get some of the benefits but your feet don't feel sore for days

>because it forces you to run in a more natural way
Wear minimalistic shoes or low drop shoes for the same effect. Even in Africa and México, where runner tribes still exist and practice endurance hunting, they wear sandals.

The minimalistic shoe hype came as a fad in the mid 2000's and is still alive to this day, and the benefits of it existing are already reaped and explored from brands like Altra, Hoka One One and Merrell who make shoes with plenty of cushioning and support while providing zero drop, encouraging forefoot running, which is the way the body is meant to run naturally.

>then why do forefoot runners often suffer from plantar fasciitis?
Because one thing is running on asphalt and concrete, other is running on soft soil and sand. Sure, the latter requires much more muscle strength for the runner, but the surface would help on impact absorption.

Most pro runners nowadays have midfoot or forefoot striking, but they have some of the best trainers around, and if you ever wore one of those exxagerated impact return shoes, like the Nike Vaporfly 4% or the new Hoka One One Carbon X you'll notice how the shoe helps on the energy return and how it's easy on your tendons and muscles. Plus, if you get the elite marathoners, they are top-tier athletes.

You'll get sore feet, blisters and all the bad products of running on your feet regardless of shoes.

Sprints on a beach? Sure.

Mid to long distance anything? No.

Lose weight

Yep. Good running shoes nowadays are finely tuned for each and every type of footprint. Save a freak ankle/knee condition, (which would limit any running anyways) the average person will surely be foolish to forgo running gear altogether

Kek, someone post it

walk on one of those fucker 5 year ago while in africa , it went half deep on my foot . I took it off poured water and put shocks on as only treatment
