Links to research related to shod or barefoot running
From Birthday Shoes Wiki
This link repository is for links to articles about research into shod or barefoot running and additionally for articles that discuss the effects of shoes on feet. Generally this should include anything scientific about feet and footwear (it's not just for links to abstracts in other words, but is more than just press on barefoot running)
