The odd thing I find about barefooters, they are trying to de-evolve and go back to what humans were originally evolved to function like back in Africa. Except the environment we are in now is obviously vastly different than Africa, it would make sense that our bodies and techniques must also evolve around our environment also. Evolution itself is all about changes and adaptations occuring due to changes in the environment. I am sure not everybody in the early days had ideal barefoot running capable bodies. The ones that did not, died off. If they didn't just die off, it's probably not THAT important of a survival trait.
