Why is walking in bad/old shoes considered unhealthy, but walking barefoot isn’t?

Take your shoes off and run in a park or through your yard. You will notice you run up on the balls of your feet and your weight is forward.
Shoes generally shift everything towards the heal. Literally changes the mechanics of how you run. So when the shoes are worn all that pressure is hitting your body in a way it’s not designed to handle.
Barefoot running shoes attempt to switch the mechanics back to the balls of the feet
