Why I think barefoot exercise is better

A previous post argued that humans were made to run. There is growing evidence that mankind developed as a long distance hunter. The bushmen of the Kalahari still hunt this way, running down game until it is too exhausted to go on, then spearing it and carrying it all the way home over a shoulder.
Humans can run further than almost any other species. This is facilitatied by our ability to sweat and our unique anatomical modifications - arched feet with forward facing big toe, flexible twisting hips to allow easy counterbalancing of legs by opposite swinging arms. Recently it has been discovered that the fine and seemingly superfluous plantaris muscle is mainly a sensory muscle that allows fine tuning of foot placement. These and other adaptations point to one conclusion. We were made to run.
But we were, (of course) designed to run BAREFOOT. Just think about that for a moment, then think about how much time you spend barefooted.
The fact that the human foot contains so many muscles, bones, tendons, nerves and sensory apparatus indicated that it probably requires its own exetcise regime ( like all the other parts of our musculoskeletal system). This cannot happen easily with a shod foot.
I will write on this again, but for now, why not try taking off your shoes and having a walk around on the grass. It feels nice! (And it's good for you).
