Nick Campitelli has blogged that "Not only does it improve your foot strength and improve your ability to run farther and more efficiently, running barefoot will make you smarter"
Does anyone know anything about the "research" he cites at http://www.drnicksrunningblog.com/a-barefoot-run-might-be-a-brain-booster-research-shows/

 

He was alluding to this study from 2 weeks ago:

...and that is not what it showed.

Given the way that barefoot runners just made stuff up and made a whole lot of claims either unsupported by the evidence or contradicted by the evidence, I guess that barefoot running does not make you smarter or help develop critical thinking skills. They further showing that by the way they are interpreting the above study -- really is an intriguing study of human nature when you watch how many of them are actually interpreting this study. Epic Fail.
