As a fair weather barefoot runner I get asked a lot what I think of them. As a physio, I’m sold, there has been a shift in thinking in the last 10 Years. The physiological thinking has reversed from passive support (trainers) to active support (your feet). Coinciding with this increased interest in barefoot running, minimalist running shoes emerged from industry’s need to satisfy the desire for a product that replicates the barefoot condition, as a result of rising public interest in this phenomenon. Thus, minimalist shoes are marketed as providing all the gait-related benefits of running barefoot, while also alleviating the hazard and discomfort experienced when running on hard surfaces.
