研究表明，赤脚走路会给你带来意想不到好处。

1. Get stronger feet

1.让你的脚更强壮

Because the muscles, ligaments, and tendons of the feet need to be fully utilized¹, the runner can develop a more natural gait and stronger, more responsive feet. Stronger feet come in handy when you have a standing² job or move around a lot. Dancers and fitness instructors³, too, will note a change in how their feet aid them better through movements.

因为足部的肌肉，韧带和肌腱需要充分利用，所以跑步者可以培养更自然的步态和让你的脚更强壮、更敏捷。 当你的工作需要长时间站立或者走动很多的时候，更强大的脚会派上用场。 舞蹈演员和健身教练也注意到一点变化，那就是：通过多活动，他们的脚就可以帮助他们表现更好。

2. Avoid calf⁴ strains and Achilles tendinitis

2.预防小腿扭伤和跟腱炎

As mentioned earlier, the striking zone of the foot between barefoot runners and those wearing sneakers is different. There have been kinematic and kinetic⁵ analyses that show how barefoot runners generate smaller collision forces as they move than those wearing sneakers. This holds true for even hard surfaces. This protects the feet and lower limbs from impact-related injuries.

正如以前提到过的，赤足跑步者和穿着运动鞋的人，脚部的用力触地区域是不同的。运动学和动力学分析已经表明，在运动的过程中，赤足跑步者比穿着运动鞋的跑步的人，会产生更小的碰撞力。 这甚至对于坚硬的表面也是如此。 这可以保护脚和下肢免受撞击等相关的伤害。

3. Run more with the core

3.跑步时，更多使用脚心

Because you hit the ground with the ball of your foot when unshod, you actually have better running posture⁶. In turn, you need to engage the core muscles to keep you upright and move with the abdominals and back for momentum⁷. Running becomes a complete exercise.

因为当你赤脚踩在地上时，你实际上会有更好的跑步姿势。 反过来，你需要让核心肌肉保持直立，并与腹部一起移动，而且需要恢复动力。 跑步就成了一个完整的练习。

4. Balance and proprioception

4.平衡以及本体感受

As you run barefoot, you can stretch out your toes, dig into the earth, and use that instant contact to gain a more solid and connected base of support, even as you move. Because even the smallest muscles are activated⁸, the body learns how to balance better, and your movements become more coordinated⁹.

当你赤脚跑步时，你可以伸展脚趾，深入接触地面，并利用快速的接触获得更坚实和联系更加紧密的支持基础，即使在你移动时也是如此。 因为即使是最小的肌肉被激活，身体也会学会如何更好地平衡，你的动作也会变得更加协调。
