if you take your shoes off it's a natural way you want to run now you might still land on your heel for a little while because you're used to it but it's interesting when i was in college i was running maybe about 20 miles a week just to stay fit and i ended up with i think i can't remember what the injury was but every time i stopped it would go away and then when i'd start running came back so i gave up running i did a lot of inline skating a ton of inline skating did some marathon races and stuff in it when born duran came out and i met chris mcdougall because chris came down to he lived in lancaster lives in lancaster now and he came down to the university of dallas because he was doing a story for i think it was the times and he wanted me to run him on the treadmill and run him barefoot and that kind of thing so we got talking and he said to me you know i haven't run in so long and i think i'd really like to run again should i get those vibram shoes and he said you know what start barefoot just start barefoot and your feet will teach you and i did that's what i did i started running again barefoot my feet did teach me it's like you don't need to be taught to walk
