I'm not telling you to go run barefoot. I don't even do that myself. I might though, on grass where don't don't come (soccer/track&field pitches). Supposed to make for great practice.
Minimalist running shoes though, may be the best tip I'll ever give you. And at €5-10, it's a cheap way to have a reason to tell me wrong after you fell for it, right? This is NOT a late April fools, BTW. Fool, yes. April yes, but that would flatter me, and take away from March, May and their friends.

Read the book "Born to Run" by Chrisptopher McDougall.
I don't read books, so after a convicing recommendation, got the audio version read by Fred Sanders, which was great. This book will make you want to go run, and give you valueble, pure insights to better take on the rest of your life as an athlete, or as a person.
This guy is pure, he features in the above book. He offers some awesome tips for making minimalist sandals. More on Youtube, from various people who picked up on it.

Don't even consider proposing to this barefoot goddess, I found her first!! And, I'm just working up to being worthy of her. She is on the one hand proof that there is a God, and why (S)he put her in what seems like the US, confirms their mysterious ways...
Seriously though, she offers nice bite-sized barrrrrrrrrefoot running info.
Ouch!

Ultimately, do some surfing of your own. Educate yourself on feet. Not whether you are a pronators, sublimator or terminator, that stuf is all irrelevant when running barefoot. Our forefathers also managed without Motion Control. They were in the business of running down deer and a gazelles. Not just shooting them down, no, running after deer until it dropped. This actually works, if you're a fit runner. It's a workout alright, but imagine going for groceries, empty pockets, and come back with 100kg of fresh meat? That's how our brain got so big, and we got so smart. Proteins in abundance. Neanderthales couldn't do that, too bulky. They rather wrestled ice bears, but after the ice age, those became scarce. (Last two statements in one sentence I made up)
Now, get educated on minimalist running. And if you run but never get injured, please go to the local medical university, and deposite you stam cells for research?
