One interesting thing about jiu jitsu and judo is being barefoot all the time. I'm not comfortable walking around anyone's home with shoes on (not to mention, hygiene!), largely because I really like to feel the floor underneath my feet. I don't run now, but I do go for walks every day, and I walk with Crocs. They seem to do a good job of supporting my foot without playing any shenanigans with my posture or lower back, but I'd always prefer to be barefoot indoors.
I see you continue to ruin every daily activity for me!
I run three times a week, and until now never even had to think about whether I was heel striking, ankle gliding, or toe tapping. Down the rabbit hole of research I go!

Walking barefoot also helps ground you to the earth and also helps stimulate all the nerves.

The book, Born to Run is a fantastic place to start.
