Many serious amateur and professional runners run a few barefoot miles each week, says Dr. Michael Fredericson, clinical assistant professor of physical and rehabilitation medicine, who also treats patients in Stanfords Sports Medicine Clinic, part of UCSF Stafford Health Care. Casual runners can also derive benefits by taking off theif shoes to run a few hundred yards once or .twice a week, he says. The support we get from our shoes is a good thing most of the time, particularly when were running on asphalt or harder surfaces. But many shoes provide so much support that the foot muscles will weaken over time, says Fredericson, who suggests barefoot training to keep the foot muscles toned. He recommends accomplishing such training on a grassy surface thats been eyeballed for haz. ards sych as broken glass. Barefoot running appears to protect particularly well against plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis. These conditions, characterized by pain around the heel, are often related to tight calf and foot muscles, 'and barefoot activity can help maintain the elasticity of these muscles, Fredericson notes. In a complicated world, running barefoot while taking care to avoid sharp or hard obstacles in the grass or dirt is a simple tactic we can use to help ourselves and our feet, he adds.
