Things mentioned in this video:
As a sports scientist with many years of research in the field of running biomechanics, I review the healthiest barefoot running shoes according to the scientific literature. Barefoot shoes improve efficiency, reduce impact forces, increase cadence, improve ankle stability and foot strength, reduce pronation, promote good toe alignment, and more. I also discuss how to properly transition to barefoot shoes, and provide resources to help you do so.
