    I don’t walk like this, but it is more natural. We would walk like that barefoot. Heel first is a shoe thing

      Heel first walking is entirely normal on most flat-ish surfaces.

      Heel first running quickly becomes painful on anything but soft grass, if you don’t have modern shoes.

      That is simply not correct. The development happened when humanity started walking upright. It had nothing to do with shoes. So it is not more natural.
