I want to run barefoot, i think it will be better for foot strengh and ankle strength, but i wonder if people think i'm a weirdo

How normal is it to run barefoot?

It is truly a retared idea run barefoot. If you want to run "naturally" and without "crutches" such as cushioning, there are special shoes for that specifc purpose.

It's not that weird. I used to do it all the time, and had several people mention they used to or knew people who did thanks to that whole born to run fad. Also had several people talk to me about earthing or some hippie bullshit lol. Never had any negative comments, the vast majority of people simply don't give a shit.

Unless you have miles of soft grass and dirt to run on, straight barefoot is retarded. Even then you risk yourself to all kinds of injuries and conditions from that filth. Just wear barefoot/minimalist shoes, you don't even need toe shoes specifically to get the benefits. Running barefoot requires a midfoot/forefoot strike and puts enormous stress on your calves/heels/feet. You have to start off slow since your legs will limit you more than your cardio, and a tendon injuiry takes forever to heal.

unless you own a huge lawn, then at least get those gay ass rubber shoes with no soles that simulate barefoot unless you want to accidentally run over a stick (or an aids needle if you live in a bad area) and fuck up your foot for months for le barefoot meme.

There are worms in the dirt that burrow in through the soles of bare feet, not to mention the possibility of stepping on broken glass/a sharp rock hidden in the dirt.
Get a moccasin or something
>>
anyone who goes outside barefoot is disgusting
>>
all fun until you step into dog shit, vomit or some other mysterious shit

Bruh, I run on asphalt like God intended and have had no problems, in fact I prefer it because you can see all the little rocks that would mildly annoy you

Not in my area, no sir

Fr Fr, no cap fªm?

Same, asphalt or concrete. Dirt or grass suck balls for running on because they're soft and sap energy from your rebound, and who knows what kind of shit is hiding in the soil... Could be nails, rocks, glass, shit, whatever. Concrete makes everything perfectly clear. Broken glass? I see it ahead of time and simply step over it. Same with nails or rocks or dog shit or vomit or whatever. Can't hide on clean concrete.
Also there is surprisingly far less random shit on the streets and sidewalks than I would have guessed until I started running on them and paying attention.

>>77353093
what benefits do you retards actually expect to get from this weirdo shit?
>>
>>77353734
The buckbroken slave has not the will to try something new amd unknown, instead the slave will stay on the known path.
>>
>>77353734
it makes running free no more consoomerism buying shoes and worrying about fit and whatever plus no more having to put on socks and shoes just go outside and run
>>

The same as doing the farmer's walk barefoot, it trains all your legs muscles.
