Though I have not given the whole barefoot running craze a try as of this time, it is pretty clear that the entire notion is really sweeping the running circuit in storm. What started out as the crazy guy running the race with absolutely no shoes on and ending the race with a medal and a bloody foot has turned into a whole new racing style complete with the “barefoot” sneakers and all.
