Your mileage may vary though… research has shown that running shoes have done little to reduce injuries compared to running barefoot. I doubt, for instance, I’d ever go running along Sydney’s footpath’s barefoot.

“People have been running barefoot for millions of years and it has only been since 1972 that people have been wearing shoes with thick, synthetic heels,” said Daniel Lieberman, a professor of human evolutionary biology at Harvard University.
