Barefoot Tips

Start walking before running to allow the skin to gain its natural protective layer.
Watch where you walk/run to avoid injury.
Be careful under trees where insects like to hang out on the ground.
Build up slowly as you would in any movement routine where the feet and skin must be able to adapt to the change.
In running, if you feel aching around the smaller bones of your foot stop barefoot running until the aching is completely gone to avoid stress fractures.
If running begin in grass or softer surfaces.
Refer to The McCall Body Balance Method for tips on hip, knee, and torso position for walking and running.
