This Video of How Medieval People Walked Is Oddly Compelling

Thanks for nice comments all. I couldn't try things like Vibram, was painful for me. Roads also mattered, hard concrete was tough on me, whereas others were not so. At home I keep off any footwear.

Heel strikers and toe strikers both exist in Western countries, and the majority of elite runners are toe strikers. It's not just people in areas where shoes are not worn, as the video says and depicts with images of people running.

I&#x27;m on the spectrum and I walk like this. It&#x27;s always been a weird texture thing for me. I also walked on my toes a lot as a child.<p>Pretty weird coming on here and seeing how I walk (and got made fun of for it.)

bullshit. I just tried ball-walking in socks and I was totally able to do it with bad posture.
