Rob Higley is a somewhat well-known running guru from the Rift Valley in Kenya Africa.
He's been coaching runners (including world-class runners) in Africa for over 20-years.
So he knows a thing or two about running with and without shoes.
In this video (at about 4:20) Higley gives what may be the best explanation yet as to why some African runners are so much better at running without shoes than their Western counterparts.
