Foot strike patterns and collision forces in habitually barefoot versus shod runners, erschienen in Nature, Ausgabe 463, vom 28. Januar 2010
Erläuterung zum Nature-Titel: For most of human evolutionary history, before the advent modern running shoes, humans ran either barefoot or in minimal shoes. A comparison of the biomechanics of habitually shod versus habitually barefoot runners suggests that running barefoot is not only comfortable but may also help avoid some impact-related stress injuries.

Barefoot and loving it, even during winter

EDMONTON -- While some women are obsessed with shoes, Sierra Larson is obsessed with avoiding them. The 20-year-old woman is barefoot virtually all the time -- even outside, in Edmonton, in winter. Larson can't stand shoes or socks and only wears them for work as a line cook, but only because health regulations require it. When she drives to work, crosses the parking lot and strolls through the West Edmonton Mall to her job at Earl's, she goes barefoot. When she pumps gas, buys groceries, shops at the mall or eats in a restaurant, she goes barefoot. This summer, she rode in a church rodeo barefoot and went camping for five days without taking any shoes along. And the other day, she pushed her boyfriend's car out of the snow, again, without shoes.

"They're just uncomfortable. I feel trapped when I'm wearing them. When I'm barefoot, I can feel what I'm standing on, I'm connected to my surroundings. But when I'm wearing shoes I feel cut off," Larson says. "And socks are just prison for feet. I hate socks even more than I hate shoes." While she's gone barefoot much of her life, it was in June that she completely eschewed footwear outside of work. She had uploaded photos of herself with some of her artwork on an art website, prompting someone to ask if she was a barefooter. "I said, 'I don't know, what's a barefooter?'" Larson recalls. Only then did she hear about a small group of people who choose to go barefoot all the time, sharing their stories on websites, such as barefooters.org and barefootcanada.org. "I thought, 'I guess this is not as socially unacceptable as I thought it was, and I already hate shoes, so I might as well just stop wearing them.' "

Throughout the summer, when she was living with her grandparents on their southern Alberta farm, she'd go for barefoot runs on gravel roads. She also chased a wayward cow through the bush barefoot -- though she did cut the top of her foot on branches and still has the scar to show for it. Generally though, she's remained remarkably injury-free despite her lack of shoes. She did get some frostbite on her feet recently while winter camping.

She admits keeping her feet clean isn't easy. "I've stoppped trying. I've got perma-dirt on my feet." At almost six feet tall with red hair, Larson is difficult to miss at the best of times. Walking barefoot, she attracts even more attention, from those with foot fetishes to good Samaritans. "I get varied reactions from 'That's so hot', to 'Oh my god, are you insane?' "

Hannoversche Allgemeine:

Barfuß wandern
Barfuß wandern liegt absolut im Trend

Kurorte und Tourismusregionen, die auf Wellness und Gesundheit setzen, bieten diese natürlichste Form der Fortbewegung wieder an. Besonders geeignet zum Barfußwandern sind Strecken über Gras, Sand und Erde; Schotterwege und bekieste „Wanderautobahnen“ sind weniger empfehlenswert.

Die erste Wanderung ohne Schuhe sollte aber nicht länger als zwei Stunden dauern. Die Füße werden durch die ungewohnte Massage schnell müde, auch droht „Muskelkater“, da wir beim Barfußgehen mit dem ganzen Fuß oder dem Ballen auftreten. Die Geschwindigkeit ist unwichtig, denn es überwiegt das tolle Gefühl danach: Die Füße sind kribbelig und warm. Informationen gibt’s bei der Barfußinitiative Berlin-Brandenburg.<<

Raus aus den Sportschuhen und barfuß trainieren
>> Barfüßig werden andere Muskeln eingesetzt als wenn man Schuhe trägt
James Goodlatte / Gastautor

Barfuß zu trainieren, erweist sich vielleicht als eine wertvolle Programmänderung für jene, die es wagen auszuprobieren. Barfuß zu trainieren, kann das Gefühl für das Gleichgewicht fördern, verbessert die Muskelzentrierung, reduziert orthopädische Schmerzen und verringert die Verletzungsgefahr.

Barfüßig werden andere Muskeln eingesetzt als wenn man Schuhe trägt...

Info: James Goodlatte ist Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology und zertifizierter Personal Trainer, der für mehr als ein Jahrzehnt funktional-korrektive Übungen unterrichtet hat.
