Barefoot: Running Long Distance Without Shoes! Michael Sandler

While riding my bike to work, this early fall morning, I saw a guy running barefoot on one of Boulder's many multi-use trails. I was so fascinated, especially seeing him barefoot on concrete, that I made a quick U-turn and pulled up behind him with my camera in recording mode.

As you can learn from the video, it turns out this runner is Michael Sandler, coach of the nation's largest barefoot running club. Called the Barefoot Running Club, it's a growing organization of advocates who believe (and can demonstrate) there are benefits to running without shoes - something our ancestors were doing one or two million years ago!

I don't know much about it but will certainly give it a try once my own aches and pains subside from a summer of extensive mountaineering...

NOTE: This video was not "staged" or rehearsed as was suggested by some running forums a few days after I had posted it - I really did ride my bicycle up behind Michael, unannounced, and started asking questions. And, thankfully Michael is in such great shape he was able to answer me while still running!

Here's a link to the Barefoot Running Club:
http://www.meetup.com/Barefoot-Running-Club/

Here's Michael Sandler's website:

Here's a follow-up YouTube interview I conducted with
Michael Sandler a few months later:

@IcarusFlying Excellent - thank you for sharing your comment! I don't run nearly as much as I should but friends and family will confirm that I always walk everywhere barefoot! - Roger
IcarusFlying (1 month ago)
i just did bare running for the first time up the street. I felt so awesome, like a kid again. I felt like all these subtle adjustments were occurring. It felt amazing. I had to stop and let my feet rest cause they were starting to get super sensitive. Like the guy said, shoe companies need us. I can image countless people eventually tossing away their shoes once they realize what it can be like.
Evi1M4chine (7 months ago)
@idesaul: Well, a study that I trust shows, that the more expensive the running shoes are, the worse they are for your body. The problem is that you did not run barefoot. And what fucked-up mentality is it, to see the barefoot running as the unnatural and weird one. Do you think we had shoes all those million of years? We dont need shoes, except for hazardous environments. But shoe maker companies need us!!
zeekzilch (7 months ago)
Sounds great - thanks for the info!
samkeskin (7 months ago)
The first time I ran barefoot (5kms on a bike path) I was in heaven !! Feels very weird at first, but then primal and natural. I love the stares I get. And it cured my achilles tendonitis
speedboarding100 (10 months ago)
actually the more expensive shoes are the ones that are causing many of the injuries. read 'born to run' by christopher mcdougall and visit the runners world barefoot forum ! they have tons and tons of great info. give barefoot a chance!
sunebird (10 months ago)
barefoot is good for the knees. go to Runners World and click on the barefott forums
gymtique (10 months ago)
Run in pool shoes, decent protection, almost like running barefoot. A pair is $4.00 at Wal Mart. I'll never run in $80.00 running shoes again.
vendoskt (11 months ago)
Great interview. I've been running barefoot going on to my fifth year now. Michael Sandler here has got it right. You can't go wrong with millions of years of research and development. If you can run, you can run barefoot. It just takes some time to make the transition.
mrbicycle1 (11 months ago)
This is Michael, the runner in the vid. I began running barefoot to heal after a life-threatening accident for which I was told I'd never be able to run again. I've had 10 knee operations, had my torn meniscus removed, my left ACL removed, and have a titanium left hip and femur...before barefoot running there was no chance for me to run. But barefoot running reduces or removes impact by teaching you a different way to strike the ground. It helped heal me and now I run 10-20 miles a day barefoot.
ldesaul (11 months ago)
Huh. Running w/o shoes? I just got a Supartz injection in my knee, which enables me to walk w/o a leg brace. 25 years of running, wearing the best running shoes $ could buy, pounded my meniscus down to the bone. I can't imagine running again, let alone barefoot.
Supralobe (11 months ago)
Very interesting stuff - definitely a more intimate way to experience the path. I know a guy who started having back problems and stopped wearing shoes - the problems went away entirely after just a few months. The five fingers shoes may be an option for the more timid.
aimdon (11 months ago)
I follow this guy on Twitter he is @runswithspirit, If you like the barefoot thing read borne to run a vary good book!
davidsquall351 (11 months ago)
I've never tried running barefoot any distance other than around my house. I will try it. Interesting interview.
