My child (6) has always been either barefoot or in barefoot shoes. I kind of assumed that they would grow up naturally to mid strike when walking and forefoot strike when running. While their walking is what I’d expect, when they run/sprint they heel strike.

I kinda thought that they just wouldn’t heel strike in a run. I don’t really care as I just want them to grow up being barefoot/in minimalist shoes. However, I’m interested to know if anyone in the community has any thoughts on this?

I.e. is this even curious or is this just normal/any other thoughts or insights or things I’m ignorant of.
