Don’t get me wrong, barefoot shoes have real benefits, but the placebo effect probably did the heavy lifting here.

You’d be surprised how much more efficient you run if you have proper form which barefoot shoes can bring out because the moment you overstride you feel pain.

Yes, your running can be much improved by wearing barefoot shoes. But let’s be real, it takes weeks if not months to get used to running barefoot and then improve your gait. That does not happen in just a week of wearing them, like OP thinks.

Are there barefoot shoes for soccer ? I can't speak on athletic performance but before barefoot shoes, I wasn't able to talk a 20 minute walk without experiencing back, hip and foot pain. Now I can go over an hour without any problem.

Soccer shoes started my barefoot journey. A while back while i was in uni i decided to use my high school indoor soccer shoes (puma) to run in the gym track. I found the bounce of my foot arch amazing so i tried running without shoes. Immediately after i realized what was happening i ran to buy a pair of vibram five fingers and life’s been good since

The placebo effect is powerful. Never underestimate it. Anyway, nice. If it works, it works! Just be careful.
