The Barefoot Professor: by Nature Video

This is a great video on bare-foot running by Nature. Harvard professor Daniel Lieberman has ditched his trainers and started running barefoot. His research shows that barefoot runners, who tend to land on their fore-foot, generate less impact shock than runners in sports shoes who land heel first. This makes barefoot running comfortable and could minimize running-related injuries.

This is a great video to watch to know more about barefoot running and its good benefits. I want to suggest using barefoot running sandals from invisibleshoe.com.
