    Injury Rates among Long Term Minimally Shod Runners Numerous studies have examined how standard shod runners transitioning into minimal shoes experienced changes in their landing kinematics, foot musculature, and arch conformation (Miller, Whitcome, Lieberman, Norton, & Dyer, 2014). Although many studies show how standard shoes can negatively affect feet musculature, arch conformation, and change landing, no studies show whether transitioning into minimal shoes actually leads to less injury. Minimal running shoes mimic barefoot running form, which is thought to have occurred through millions of years of natural selection enabling humans to run barefoot and survive (Daoud, Geissler, Wang, Saretsky, Daoud, & Lieberman, 2012). The standard…

Runners often suffer a variety of injuries, starting with muscle aches, and ending with tearing an achilles’ tendon and everything in between. Without a healthy body, runners may not be able to run to the best of their ability or even at all.

It has been brought to attention that the reason for most injuries is the fact runners land on their heels when they wear shoes; therefore not only can landing on the forefoot increase runner’s performance but also their overall health (Ingraham).…

The prevalence of foot wounds among the veterans has increased over the last six months due to poor foot care practices.

Gandhi once said, “A nation’s culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.” It has been argued that a people stripped of its culture, is a people stripped of their souls.
