. . . the comment about never recommending barefoot running on hard surfaces to young folks because of cartilage damage go un challenged.
Just curious what insurance companies are involved. They always seem great at taking people's money, but some aren't so good at taking care of people.Yeah, I can visualize that as well, but I had already put in a full day at the office and was dealing with my attorneys and auto insurance companies and towing company etc. at the same time.
I appreciate your viewpoint, and I agree that some folks can run perfectly fine in anything, as long as they run the "right" way, but in my case, I was damaged by shoes, and it had nothing to do with my form but the shoes themselves...Morton's Neuroma.It all comes down to running mechanics and form. You can run in high heels if needed. I never used to have a problem running in big bulky shoes, I just turned to barefoot running because it brought a new dimension to running, little did I know I would become addicted to it. I honestly think you can run in anything without issues, if you have proper form. So it's definitely not the shoes.
This is just my personal opinion which means nothing.
Sounds like a much more complicated process then just telling someone to take their shoes off though.
