I guess I'm missing something about running barefoot if there is a barefoot shoe store.
Don't worry Bobby1, you aren't alone. So allow me to clear things up a bit.
Barefoot Shoes are shoes that allow your foot to move naturally as if they were barefoot, while offering protection from the rough ground and elements. Some people swear by running completely barefoot all the time, but for most of us being able to run as if barefoot, but with some foot protection, is preferable and a lot less risky.
We could call it minimalist shoe running, but barefoot running sounds better and makes people stop and think a little more. Ultimately, it is about running as if barefoot, as well as wearing shoes that allow your foot to move naturally.
