There is a small, but very significant, subculture of china wholesale clothing runners who run barefoot. Most people, even runnings, do not realize that this culture exists. While you may expect to find these runners on the beach or in areas with a soft composite track, you'd be mistaken. These runners are training on asphalt and concrete and even competing in road races. There are marathon runners and triathletes who find that they have more stability and fewer injuries when running barefoot.
So what's the controversy? Why doesn't everyone china wholesale shoes barefoot when they run? This is the dilemma I face: How in good conscience do I, a podiatrist focusing on runners and sports medicine, tell people that running on hard surfaces, without the protection of a shoe or support from an orthotic, is okay to do. This violates most of my training and certainly goes against common sense. A shoe, after all, absorbs shock and will cushion the blow of an unforgiving surface.
The most well-known barefoot runners are the Kenyans wholesale boots are always front-of-the-packers at most international marathons. Inspired by these Kenyan athletes, Josh Stevenson made international news in February 2009 by racing and completing the grueling New Zealand Coast to Coast Multisport event while barefoot. It was his eighth time competing in the race and he went in with the attitude "If I can do it in bare feet, hopefully I can inspire other people to do it in shoes." He also said that he would not compete barefoot again.
