When I read things like this…
…I roll my eyes. Not because there is anything wrong with the publication; it is just the heat and vitriol that I and others were subjected to over the years by the fan boy haters for pointing out what the overwhelming preponderance of evidence is continuing to show. Their propaganda and rhetoric is still not […] Continue reading →

Impact loads in barefoot and shoe running
I currently sitting in Toronto airport waiting for a flight, so will not say anything much on this: The effects of barefoot and barefoot inspired footwear on tibiofemoral kinetics during running Jonathan Sinclair Human Movement. ISSN (Online) 1899-1955, DOI: 10.1515/humo-2016-0022, October 2016 Purpose Continue reading →
Impacts and injury and the transition to minimalist running shoes
I struggled to come up with a title for this post as in the study below two key points came out and the points that come out of the study are not necessarily related to each other. Continue reading →
Barefoot Running and ‘Overpronation’
I previously noted that some barefoot runners claim that the height of the arch of their feet increased after taking up barefoot running; others claim no change and, much to their dismay, some even have reported a decrease in their arch height. Some have documented changes in arch shape with photographs, and others have faked […] Continue reading →

Foot morphology in barefoot vs shod runners and its effects on biomechanics
A few weeks ago there was this publication that looked at morphological differences between habitual barefoot and shod runners and it was only of mild interest due to the ethnic differences between the groups. Were the morphological differences due to the barefoot vs shod or where that due to Indian (barefoot) vs Chinese (shod) Continue reading →
Comparison of running injuries between shod and barefoot runners
I have previously reported that so far all the systematic reviews and meta-analyses on barefoot running vs shod running were all concluding the same thing: that there are no systematic differences between the two. Now we have the first published prospective study on injury rates between shod and barefoot running: Prospective comparison of running injuries between shod and barefoot runners Alison R Altman and Irene S Davis Br J Sports Med doi:10.1136/bjsports-2014-094482 Background Advocates of barefoot running suggest that it is more natural and may be a way to minimise injury risk Continue reading →
“All anti-barefoot running research is paid for by the running shoe companies”
Time to call out another loon …and I not in the mood for some serious science. I belong to a number of skeptic groups involved in fighting anti-science and pseudoscience in many topic areas. In those groups I am always impressed about how often they take screenshots of debates and comments. Continue reading →

“Running barefoot may increase injury risk in older, more experienced athletes”
This press release is starting to the rounds: Running barefoot may increase injury risk in older, more experienced athletes Older athletes less likely to adapt running style to “minimalist” shoes LAS VEGAS – In recent years there has been an explosion in barefoot running, as well as the purchase and use of “minimalist” running shoes that more closely resemble barefoot running by encouraging the balls of the feet, between the arch and toes, to hit the pavement first. A new study presented today at the 2015 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), found that a significant number of experienced runners, age 30 and older (40 percent of men and 20 percent of women), maintained a heel-first running pattern—which naturally occurs when wearing a shoe with an elevated heel—when running without shoes. Maintaining a heel-toe pattern while running barefoot or in a minimalist shoe may lead to more frequent injuries Continue reading →
