bare foot is alot better for running.. most marathon runners wearing shoes can only go upwards of 50 miles .... there are people that run bare foot in south america that run upwards of 200 miles.

The reason it's a different foot movement is because you are naturally inclined to run like the picture on the right while barefoot. Try it, it happens without even thinking about it. Attempting to run like that in shoes with an angled slope caused by your sole, and the fact that your foot is basically locked into a certain shape until your own weight flexes the sole on the ground, it's basically impossible or highly impractical to replicate for most runners in most shoes.

Not quite sure I follow, but OK... unless you're attempting to start a religious debate, in which case... this particular vid wouldn't exactly be the forum for it...
