On the surface, that sounds very close-minded. Do you say that because you are running injury-free with shoes or because running in shoes is what's familiar?

If you are getting injured running with shoes, maybe the shoes are part of the problem. Running barefoot -- or even in primal footwear -- might be something to seriously consider and explore.

We just ask that you not close your mind off to something just because it's new and unfamiliar. It might make a huge positive difference that you would have never expected.
