Beginner's Tips for
Barefoot Running:

Check out Merrell's Barefoot Running Tips Below.

Start at the beginning. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or a weekend warrior, barefoot training should start with the fundamentals. Build on them step by step to get the most out of your barefoot experience.
Practice good form. Proper foot strike, and other factors can optimize barefoot performance.
Build endurance gradually. Barefoot works muscles in your feet and legs that you may not be accustomed to using. If you usually wear socks, your feet may also be tender in the first days of training. Take it slow and easy for better results.
Pay attention to your body's signals. With any new training regimen, some soreness is to be expected. However, if soreness persists or worsens, take a break.
Choose familiar terrain at first. Different types of terrain can affect your training. Steep ups and downs and areas filled with obstacles, like roots or rocks, should be avoided until you've built up greater endurance and strength.
