    Of course not. If this were the case marathoners would run barefoot. Also I would suggest if youre trying barefoot outdoors you not start by running a mile as it will probably mess up your usually shoed feet.

      Olympic marathons have been won by barefoot runners. Abebe Bikila from Ethiopia did it in the 1960s Rome Olympics.

      There’s a difference between one mile and a marathon. The latter will wear your shoes out. One mile won’t if you do it often enough. But the main point, that even one mile runners use shoes, nonetheless stands.
