Going Barefoot 

McGovern’s running shoe of choice has become Vibram’s FiveFingers, which mimics true barefoot running. “You’ll notice, by default, you won’t land on your heel, and that’s the beauty of barefoot,” he says. “If you’re buying into the notion that, biomechanically, you need to run differently, then barefoot is just a tool to get you there. Barefooting isn’t the goal. Barefooting helps you maintain the gait that you want to maintain.”
