    I would be more interested in how barefoot running and the five fingers shoes affected runners who were inexperienced at barefoot running. I wonder if 8 was a big enough sample size?

    I have to say thanks to Podiatry Arena for this resource. This is an issue that comes up in my clinic from time to time; here at Podiatry Aena you get exposed to all the pros and cons and at a minimum develop a well informed view (as opposed to a fanatical view) on the topic. Thanks guys!
