| Not a good idea, your feet need some sort of support, the treadmill is still a hard surface, you could harm your feet that way. |

| Yes! Contrary to what many people think, feet do NOT need support, if you switch slowly and give your feet time to adjust you're even better off barefoot. From "Survey in China and India of Feet That Have Never Worn Shoes":One hundred and eighteen of those interviewed were rickshaw coolies. Because these men spend very long hours each day on cobblestone or other hard roads pulling their passengers at a run it was of particular interest to survey them. If anything, their feet were more perfect than the others. All of them, however, gave a history of much pain and swelling of the foot and ankle during the first few days of work as a rickshaw puller. But after either a rest of two days or a week's more work on their feet, the pain and swelling passed away and never returned again. There is no occupation more strenuous for the feet than trotting a rickshaw on hard pavement for many hours each day yet these men do it without pain or pathology.Also there are more and more barefoot runners, even outdoors. See the source for a number of links! |

| If you are just going to walk, go barefoot. Why wear special socks?If you are going to run, you should make sure your knees are in good shape before doing it in bare feet. You will slip and get injured in socks. |
