I love barefoot toe shoes but you have to get used to them. If you're using them regularly, they're so much more healthier on your joints. Basically all your weight is just on your muscles and achilles tendon.

Rule 0 of transitioning to barefoot shoes is: take it easy! Give your body as much time as it needs - and then some - to avoid doing more harm then good!

It’s unfortunate the transcript is only for the intro. Also I can’t read “Jon the Dog walker” and not think of the Reddit moderator on Fox News lol
Basically the summary was ‘it’s complex’. If your feet are wearing conventional shoes for the rest of the week and you just use barefoot for running, there will be quite a strain on the foot and the calf and the Achilles, if running - so ease yourself in with light occasional use
