You'll need to get a pair of barefoot shoes which are some of the most bizarre looking shoes you'll ever find but they do help in preventing too much pressure on your heel and ankle.
It is much better to run barefoot. I've been doing it for four years now, and I have had no adverse effects from it. By running barefoot, it is impossible to land in such a way that your knees absorb the impact. Instead, you land so that your calves absorb the impact. You will be surprised when you start running barefoot how sore your calf muscles are afterward. Besides, it is much better to absorb impact with a muscle than a joint. The soles of my feet have toughened up considerably, but I do not have nasty calluses like most would think. All I can say is that if you have never tried running barefoot, give it a try. Start on a smooth surface, and work up from there. Your feet toughen up very quickly. Before you know it, you'll be able to run barefoot for miles on any surface. This year, I've run about five hundred miles barefoot, almost all of it on concrete.

Barefoot running is a new trend that has become popular due to a few scientific studies and various books that have been written saying that running without using any running shoes would prevent injuries, make you faster and change your form. This is a controversial new topic in the running community since finding the perfect running shoe is something every new runner must do at the start of their career and continue to do to stay healthy. The barefoot running phenomenon has alerted running shoe companies that consumers want to try something different and consumers desire something other than the same old rehashed running shoe. Most running shoe companies have responded to customer desires by providing runners and other athletes with minimalistic shoes, which provide little to no support or arch structure. This is a drastic step away from the standard old running shoe, but a step in the right direction according the many barefoot runners. While running without a running shoe has proven to work for some people, other athletes have found that this approach has actually increased the injury rate among the running community. The goal of barefoot running is to eliminate the running shoe, and eliminate injuries that are caused by wearing over protective running shoes with too much support. Barefoot runners have eliminated injuries shin splints or achilles tendinitis, but have run into new injury problems those who prefer the running shoe would otherwise not have to deal with such as stepping on a rock, stepping on a small piece of glass or cutting the foot on random debris found on the road. Since running barefoot changes the form of the runner, many barefoot runners have been having hip and back injuries. First and foremost, a running shoe provides protection, so many running enthusiasts recommend that new runners use the tried and true method of finding the right running shoe for their needs, goals and mileage. Training without a running shoe can be supplemented occasional on soft surfaces, but it is not recommend due to the increase in unique, dangerous and downright odd injuries that have occurred since barefoot running has gained in popularity.
Always start with running apparel. In order to be that fast runner you will need running shoes to get started. Find the shoes that best supports your feet when walking or moving and make sure they are comfortable at fast pace.
You false start (Start running before they shoot the gun), you intercept someone else running, you push/shove/hit/kick/trip/etc. anyone, or you go out of your lane for more than 3 steps.
As with any new physical pursuit, it is best to start off slowly to avoid injury. Your feet will be weak at first as they are accustomed to being supported by your shoes. It may take weeks or months before you can run any long distances. Start by walking round your house barefoot, then begin walking outside to toughen your skin on surfaces you can tolerate. This phase should last at least 3-4 weeks. Your feet will let you know when they're ready to run but be cautious of the running surfaces and muscles strains particularly your calves and ankles. Videos on YouTube will demonstrate barefoot running techniques.

Running is one of the easiest of exercise to buy for. All you would need to start out is running shoes, running shorts, and a running top. You can find all of these things online or at a store like modells. Once you know that you will stick with running you can buy some more things such as heart rate monitors or gps watches.
Yes. Apart from the obvious danger in stepping on something most people's feet are not accustomed to walking around barefoot, and it can take some time for the muscles in the foot to adjust to doing so. Best to start out limiting yourself to a few minutes a day and gradually increasing your barefoot time if walking around barefoot is something you intend to spend time doing.
