As a high school state qualifier in the 400m and 800m I will tell you that once I see an olympic runner run barefoot in any race I will do it myself. However until then I will not run barefoot. I am borderline flat-footed and I need shoes to be able to run properly. Maybe if you're just an average non competing runner that'd be fine. But to anyone in competition I could not take someone seriously if they ran barefoot regularly. Also, I could see the argument of shoes giving ankle support along with arch support. And if you are going to go from barefoot to shoefooted running then I can see you having terrible form.

I believe the people putting on the presentation and running the studies at Harvard know slightly more about competitive running then a high school qualifier.

How is that trolling?
