The Greatest of All Time
are we really saying to God/Evolution (which ever you subscribe to) that their design sucks and we need a whole bunch of cushioning and support in order to use our feet?
Modern homo sapien's feet have not evolved or were not designed to run long distances on asphalt and concrete. I'll keep my Asics thank you very much.

Do you think this hold's true for all shapes and sizes of feet? I'd think a flatfoot or extremely high arch may have a harder time with running barefoot. Perhaps running barefoot may be benefical to some but not to others? I just have a difficult time going with a hard and fast rule for all types.
I only run in flats...

Let me know how your achilles feels when you hit 50 miles per week running only in flats. Not trying to be snarky, I am being genuine.
Did anyone read the link I posted?
