how barefoot running shoes work

What should you look for in barefoot running shoes?
After ignoring what they might think of as fashion at first, big sneaker makers are now running barefoot races.
What is good, what is a gimmick?
Here are some tips to help you find the best purchase.
Flat soles are a key part of barefoot running shoes.
Drop, sometimes called difference, is the difference between the thickness of the lower sole of the heel and the thickness of the lower sole of the toe.
Ideally, this drop is zero, promoting a better form of running by encouraging you to land on your front foot.
Most of today\'s shoes are down by 12mm, while minimalist shoes tend to fall much less.
In a market filled with companies bragging about how many shoes they have, durability has also become a problem.
Can the thin sole stick to the point where it is worth buying?
Study the life expectancy of the brand you are considering.
Some companies offer insole plug-ins in the product line to help runners successfully transition from traditional running shoes to barefoot running.
These plug-ins allow you to reduce the arch support of your shoes as your feet become strong.
If a product line provides these plug-ins, you will most likely achieve greater success in the transition to minimalist operation.
Weight is another factor to consider.
Most of the barefoot running shoes are 5 to 6 ounces (141 to 170g)
Light range than ordinary running shoes.
Most runners don\'t need to worry too much about an ounce here or there, but if you want to replicate the feeling of barefoot, the lighter your shoes are, the easier it is to convince your feet that they are naked.
Try to test barefoot running shoes of different brands before buying.
It is easier said than done for many of us;
Professional stores are not always accessible.
If you order online, be sure to follow any accessories guide related to shoes.
For DIY enthusiasts, you can always choose to make your own barefoot running shoes [

While they may not be in the marathon, they may be fine for short trips.
Be careful with any minimalist shoes, but be especially careful if you go home --made route.
