The feet have intrinsic and exttrinsic muscles that are required to work (when walking) and confining them inside unsuitable shoes prevents them working. You wouldn't try bicep curls with your arms strapped in leather (unless that's your idea of a fun weekend).

I noticed your thoughts on the dangers of where you run in barefeet but I assume you approve of us not wearing shoes in every day life unless we have to.
