[QUOTE="TripleD, post: 1487196, member: 11832"] That may not be the article. I didn't see anything about taking barefoot running in moderation. What I saw was there is less peak impact with barefoot running. Less cushioned shoes (Nike Frees) are better. When a runner fatigues, the ball of foot strike moves back to heel to toe, this would be the time to stop running, in my opinion. With time, the foot strength would build and running duration would increase. In my experience, running with a heel-toe strike always caused me shin splints and/or plantar faciitis (sp?). Since I switched to mid foot strike, initially in Nike Frees, now New Balance mt101, I NEVER have plantar faciitis, which was extreme in the mornings, and NEVER have shin splints. I used to think that my running problems were because I had gained weight since high school. But I still weigh more now than when I used to get all the problems. I'm a definite barefoot style running convert. [/QUOTE]
