I've been thinking about trying barefoot running, but I'm not sure if it's worth the hassle of building up my foot strength and adjusting my form. Has anyone made the switch? Was it worth it for you? Did you see any significant improvements in your running? Or was it just a fad?
Honestly, I think it's a bunch of hype. I tried it for a month and ended up with bruised feet and a lingering calf strain. Unless you're running on soft trails, I don't see the point. My running didn't improve, and it was just a hassle. Not worth the risk of injury, if you ask me.
