Barefoot running is gaining increased popularity, but at the same time many are put off due to the increased reports of injuries that are occurring as a result of barefoot running and the potential risk from objects on the running surface. For this reason there has been an upsurge in the usage of what has become known as barefoot running shoes. It sounds odd that there are running shoes that allow you to run barefoot. The purist barefoot runners do not like the concept of these barefoot running shoes or minimalist running shoes. These are shoes that are so cut down that they mimic the action of running barefoot. They have no cushioning or shock absorption and offer no amount of support, they merely protect the foot from the environment. The purist barefoot runners do not like the concept of barefoot running shoes as they like the concept of being in touch with and feeling the environment.
