Having barefeet is no longer for the beach. Barefoot and sports is now a 'thing'. There are products promoting bare feet, books written on the subject and actual athletes sporting barefeet while participating in their favorite sports.
A leading instructor of barefoot running in the U.S., Ken Bob Saxton has completed more than 400 races barefoot, including 79 marathons and one ultra-marathon. We are not sure what his feet look like at the finish line but reasearchers are supporting this phenomenon.
