Are we all gunna ignore the car commercial?

had a pain in knee because of shoes.Now running barefoot. .. no problems

there's a reason we were born without shoes on

WOW, i watched this on the treadmill with my fivefingers and so much progress... Picking my heels up, increasing my cadence, forefoot landing...i was going only 3mph and my hamstrings are on fire, it feela great to run the proper way! thanks so much, professional advice!

I learned more about running in this video than any other video ever

New Zealanders have been walkng and running barefoot in the street for as long as I've lived here.

I've shared this video with several of my CrossFit friends. It is a game-changer for avoiding shin splints and overall foot pain. Thanks!

Ran on my treadmill barefoot for the first time 2 nights ago. To minimize noise and heel impact I start landing on the balls or my feet first...felt strange at first but more graceful...but muscles below my knees are more sore than usual now because I never used them so much

For anyone who is turned off from barefoot running solely from fear of cutting your skin, there are barefoot/minimalist shoes that allow you to run as if barefoot but give you a thin, puncture resistant sole to protect from rocks, sticks, and glass. VivoBarefoot and Soft Star Shoes are two examples.

I have flat feet and high foot pressure with low arches, and I have been running and walking around barefoot for four months now. I feel stronger and my calluses has built up, so a lot less pain when running on street and sidewalk.

Great knowledge in the video and the technique afterwards was amazing.

Barefoot Running came very naturally for me. It actually feels good to run barefoot.

4:12 THANK YOU for showing these side by side! that was exactly what i was wanting to see! i appreciate it!

Thanks for this video... I forgot how to run properly because of breaking my left ankle... And no that I'm healed I'm strugling with the confidence on my feet. It's hard for me, but I think I'll be back on track soon.

Thank you for posting this video! Where should people go to have their running and even walking styles evaluated for proper posture?

Great video...thanks!

I don't think it really matters what you wear, but I can tell you its a lot easier to keep moving when you're not picking up the weight of a shoe.

This is great👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

very interesting!

I don't know where you live, but in the city I live in I VERY rarely come across glass. As long as I avoid the bottle depot and bar areas I'm pretty much guaranteed not to have that problem.

I can't run in shoes... never. I like barefoot only... forever !

Can someone see the name of the treadmill being used? I like the slated belt & low console that's usually on your face. Thanks!

Brilliant !

I live in a village of about 1200 habitants, it's like a really green village. There is a road with like, grass in the middle and just bare yellowish dirt on right and left. It litteraly leads to nowhere and ends at about 7 km away from village. On the sides there are fields and crops of corn, cherrys, blueberries, grain and so on. It's just beatiful, I used to run there barefoot before I moved to Italy. That was in south Serbia btw and I was 12-13 year old at the time (now I am 15).

If anyone is interested in seeing how their feet hits the ground and exactly how much of the foot is in contact with it, walk through a puddle deep enough to wet the entire sole of the foot, then walk on a dry spot. Then look at it and even take a picture. The wet footprint(s) indicate exactly how much of the foot is actually in contact with the ground. And if you'd like to see the shape, walk through some soft mud. Soft enough to leave the entire impression including the entire arch and the curled space between the end of your toes and the rest of the foot. you can get 2 different types of footprints. One while standing still. Then just walk through the mud with your normal walk. You can even do one at a run. And if you would like to, you can mix some plaster of Paris and make some molds of the impressions for you to take back to study how the sole of your feet interact with the ground.

We're not meant to be having all these knees problems and issues running. Starting running like this a while ago and thankfully I did.

What are the shoulder and hand relaxation drills? What are the hamstring pulls?

excellent 👍

good video

How to run barefoot. Step 1: Take of your shoes. Step 2: Take of your socks. Step 3: Start running. Step 4: Profit?

Why is this rhythm of 180 specified? Surely the cadence is dependent on leg length, otherwise you're saying that short legged people cannot run fast, because if the cadence has to be 180, the only way to run faster is to lengthen the stride to an unnatural length.

What about running with no shoes on but with socks on,on a treadmill,and like plyometrics with socks on,would that be good?

Analyzing running mechanics on a treadmill is only analyzing what you're doing on a treadmill. Obviously it's easier, but the data is not going to be useful for improving, because running on a treadmill is quite different from running on the road/trail/etc

did i just get an ad in a youtube video?

Im watching this because my favourite pair of vans are all completely destroyed on boyh my pad and heal, but just changing a bit how i walk, they are my favourite show, and i dont get pain especially on like walking along an incline

Hi,I'm a minimalist runner doing very minimal training.Half marathons in 1hr45mn in homemade running sandals.Going into 25k trail running also this year.

What is a hamstring pull exercise?

what are hamstring pulls?

I have flat feet and tried running barefoot on treadmill. But it felt extremely uncomfortable because of the feeling that I got in the middle of my feet. Is this normal when you are starting off? Also I believe we were designed to run barefoot in nature not on a treadmill or road. Maybe that is why it feels so uncomfortable for me

Have you ever stepped on a sharp splinter? I had a very sharp one in the middle of my foot, how did you take care of it??wooden one for me! I can't see it in there not red , but sensitive on stepping.

Hello i tried the barefoot running on a treadmill today and it sounded like anvils hitting the treadmill compared to the folks on the video. How do i break the bad habits so that i can have a smooth foot strike

Must say this video shows very convincingly and clearly what's the matter...

My struggle is that I like to run barefoot but I have to switch back to shoes afterward due to my high arches

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"

You can do pretty much anything you want to barefoot. I do, because I really really do want to, and it makes life so much more fun, interesting, easy and healthy.

The only part that keeps on hurting when I run more so than thigh muscles etc are my ankles. They strain like crazy, could be the shoes that are blocking the blood flow. But running barefoot among small stones and twigs seems counter intuitive. What to do...

I don't think that barefoot is the only way to run well, but it is a lot easier (in my opinion) to learn to run well barefoot. After doing a lot of barefoot running, I can go back to a normal running shoe and feel great, but before I tried barefoot, running was torture. So again, it's not the only way to run, but it IS a really great and intuitive way to learn to run well.

Can anyone tell me where i can get the pic from the wall? i mean that from the right side ;)

Zen says on bare foot running or walking. " let only your own Wisdom be your own coach. ".

how do i run more soft i am a forefoot runner but i still seem like my foot hits the ground hard is is because i have flat feet ?

I hear Vivo's style is for running on treadmill. Proper barefoot running is different

Ive always been told to land mid foot

I went barefoot running on the street and cut my toe

the point is that u wont injured with this technique... because u'll train all of ur footmuscles... Haile Gebrselassie can healstrike because he didt run in shoes for many years, and his muscles r strong. in Africa all of the runners r running barefoot and no injuries there. im sure that u had many injuries with healstrike...just read the book "born to run", and u'll realize what is running...and why we running..

Im in my high school marching band XD he wasn't completely in line with the met.... it was pissing me off.

Sir what kind of shoes I have to wear while running because I am a heal striker and it is little bit difficult for me to change this habit because when I try to lend my feet first while running I become to conscious and it becomes difficult for me to run

I take barefoot walks but I'm not old enough to take a run by myself

You do zoom instruction? lol

Heel pick-up should be more with gluteus maximus than with hamstrings.

Nike RN Motion or Vibram five fingers = best of both worlds?

how to run barefoot? you take off youre shoes and start running..

I'm a toe runner for sure I always have been

Barefoot running is like CrossFit. In it self nothing wrong, even maybe good. Not for everyone. Heard many claim, even in these comments automatically claim best runners or only real runners are barefoot

Barefoot Ted. 'Nuff said.

Is that 120 BPM's

a few months of taking a good beating and allowing the skin to heal and toughen should be enough. Of course you will never be immune to glass and I'm not a medical professional so just take your time, be careful and watch where you step!

I've managed to run barefoot from Louth to Grimsby and over the Humber Bridge from Barton upon Humber to Hesse and back. Perfectly safe, just as long as you remain focused on what's on the ground, you'll be fine. Most natural humanistic part of walking is without footwear. I thoroughly recommend just kicking off those shoes as much as you can and ground yourself with the Earth...

It should be like "jumping rope" when we run barefoot

The problem with barefoot running, is sidewalks are asphalt and often covered in small pebbles.

Just how many barefoot runners have you even met in real life?

6 months if you run for an hour or 2 every day. 1 year if only 30 minutes.

can u use this technique using shoes ?

I know how to run barefoot. But I don't know how to run in shoes !!!

First step with bare foot running. You are not a Barefoot runner. So start off very gently. Trust me. You'll turn your calves to concrete blocks in 15 minutes

Why do the pro marathoners not run barefoot if it's so good? Just asking.

british alison mack

Oh yeah bare feet forever.. exept on school with heavy heavy objects around.. sadly.. but need "socks and security shoes on" most days :) Still, to school and from school, bare feet any wheather ;) So good feels. Happy bare feet running :D

4:12

Is better start the barefooted running on the tradmill

i love his hair oml

Everybody says to slowly transition. It's lockdown time so i just ran in a rocky patio i found with my shoes on, this time forefoot striking. I couldn't even run a fourth of what I normally ran. Then, when lockdown loosened a little bit, i went out for a few barefoot runs and was completely sore after each one (couldn't walk). Just yesterday, I went out for my first 10k run and i'm not sore anymore. 10k is twice my biggest run so I basically doubled my performance with no effort

Okay , its good to see some other people running. But! BUT ! Never EVER change yourself. This guy can only talk for himself. Go barefoot and run. if it feels good, you are doing it right and how your body was meant to run. If you run like a guy who is telling you "How to" and its feeling bad, DONT do it. Every human is different.

either you would see it, or itll be small enough and your feet calloused enough that you wont notice it

Hey..saw the title and came here let you in on something. Our feet were designed or evolved, whatever your perspective on life is, to run..without how to's. You get bad running technique from running with shoes on.

Sorry but too many risks to cuts and punctures because of construction. However, I do agree heel striking is nasty.

I just wish they were cheaper, I know why they are so expensive but it’s just hard to justify

FINN/????

I think I've kinda ruined my life with running. Tore a tendon in my foot, and now I can't do anything. Would I have been better off in shoes? Well, I probably wouldn't have had that injury, but people get plenty of other injuries in shoes. Because I ran, no I can't do other stuff I like to do, like hiking and mountain biking. Fuck running.

It's kind of anoying because all by limbs can have a mind of their own to my a arms are like fuck off let me sleep and my feet are like I need to breath but I also gotta go faaaaaaaaassssssst

That is not actually true. I have run barefoot my whole life. and just within the past year have started taking the "Proper" lessons. My feet are calloused enough to where I have stepped on glass without even knowing. the human body was designed to adapt. and ignore weakness. since pain weakens the body for a short time. the body will eventually learn to ignore it.

It's funny, my step mother always made fun of me for walking and running like this. She always told me if I didn't stop walking on my "tippy toes" she would send me to dancing classes.

Why do we need an "expert" to tell us how to run/walk without shoes! For God's sake!

I'am 68yo now and have been barefooted since I was six howmany barefooted runners have I met hundreds its the best training method .Q you shoe wearers how often do you wash your stinkin shoes. my feet dont stink people had much healthier feet before shoes I can run in the snow , can you? Oh I love a shoe with a good aroma UGH $ 250.usd for sneakers God resoles my feet as I go.cats spring as they run thats what I do toes first then spring to the next pace and my feet are lighter 15ee size 16 gs

I barefoot run because i have no sole

this make bigger calves?

What i want to be

i'm telling you one day you are going to step on glass

I think I’m also faster running barefoot.

Wish I could do this but I live in Texas so the pavement would fry my feet

look where you walk then..
