A lovely post! A german friend of mine a while back never used to wear shoes. and I mean never. The soles of his feet were black, but he could walk on any surface and was fine. I feel there is too much dependency on Trainers (sneakers if you are from across the pond), personally I like to have thinly soled shoes if I am doing sports, there is better contact with the ground. Have fun running. =]
