W e’re interested in finding out if any of you have ever run commuted barefoot. We’re also wondering what impact the minimal shoe craze of the past few years has had on you as a runner. Help us find out by taking a quick poll and then check out the infographic from Altra Zero Drop Footwear explaining the importance of foot strike and minimal running.
If you have run to work barefoot, send us a message, tell us about it, and we’ll feature you in a future post.
Cheers!

I am a run commuter and love it. Run 9 miles to and from work in Xero Shoes, and about half the time totally barefoot. For me, Xero Shoes are the best option out there. Bio-mechanically identical to being barefoot.

Bit late, but I run commute two days a week in minimalist shoes (either Inov8 baregrip for the trail run both ways or Soft Star Runamoc Dash lite for the pavement runs). Best way to get my runs in, frankly.
Agreed – it is the best way to get a run in. How far is your commute?
I had never heard about the RunAmoc’s until now. They are quite the shoe! For those interested, here’s their site.
Thanks for the comment!
I run barefoot to work occasionally. Not real often. I do run barefoot during lunch runs and other times. I run in Vibram Bikilas and New Balance Minimus also.
