Bare foot running.

I was sent an article from my daughter about barefoot running-it was out of  http://www.breathemag.ca/ /"   But I'm not quit ready for the bare footed method ,I can barely make it to the road without shoes, it says you shorten your stride when running this way, landing mid foot and pushing of with the ball of the foot,   Once you get used to running bare footed  and you pick up your cadence and by picking up your speed you  extend  your stride would you be prone to more injuries. As long as they ran bare footed on golf courses I  might think about it , The calluses on the bottom of my feet would have to be a couple of inches thick so that when I run on pavement the first time i stub my toes on something I wont jump a mile high our holler some obscene name , they suggest that you start by walking around the house , getting the mail our taking the dog for a walk to start your bare foot training.Once your used to that try running on a soft surface like a sandy beach or a sports field slowly building up your mileage and if you feel any pain stop, your calves will probably hurt the first few times and then the bottom of your feet will take a bit of time before you won't feel the rocks or the black Berrie bushes that you step on, I know I would curse if I ran into some prickly bush or branch laying on the trail,  Ok now you tell me, they wear minimalistic footwear that  copy barefoot running but it protects the feet.
