Barefoot running, if done properly, is known to help prevent injury by increasing the strength of stabilizer muscles, ligaments, and tendons on and around the foot. In my experience (at least if you are training for cross-country or track), the most effective way to utilize barefoot running is to do it a few times a week after workouts. Be sure to do it in the grass, and only for about 10-20 minutes max.
I personally feel like it is effective if done properly.
