Five toed socks for running

Athletes are now using a five toed sock that is similar to the sensation from running barefoot and could be better for you than wearing trainers.  The sock acts like a second skin so you run on the foot as it is designed not like modern trainers that promote running on the middle of the foot.

Craig Richards a designer of ultra light shoes commented that “There’s no evidence that any shoe is better than running in bare feet.”  Daniel Lieberman a professor of human biology at Harvard university also agrees with Craig Richards that until any research is found to suggest trainers support the foot from injuries better than barefoot he believes barefoot is just as good as trainers for running.  Will this be the next gimmick or will this change the look of running shoes forever, only time will tell.
