if you're gonna switch you have to be prepared to go back to square 1 and start training from scratch again.
if that sounds like effort, just replace like 4 like.
I reckon in 5 years folks'll be back to what we consider 'normal' trainers as we're conditioned to these from childhood so it's tricky to maintain the effort of changing back to barefoot style, regardless of the reported advantages in doing so.
