What's interesting is It is literally the reason white or pale skin evolved, because Vit D3 is absolutely essential to immune function, if you didn't have access to a dietary supply or weren't able to directly synthesise it under darker more northern skies then your chances of dying from some plague or infection was way way higher. native skin colour maps very strongly against distance from the equator.
It's the ancient trade off between vit D production keeping you alive by helping not die of diseases vs resistance against sun burn and not dying of skin cancer.
Oh and there's a another vit D function in embryo development.
Though I wonder about modern environments given how everyone spends far less time outdoors?
The friction coefficient for rubber soled shoes under rainy conditions on asphalt/tarmac is something like 0.3. Running flats will literally aquaplane, big lugs can help but they aren't as efficient under dry conditions.

I know the staff didn't want to feature Hayasaka on the cover because she was a side character, but I think it would've been fine to have her as the main on one (instead of on the side as in the latest picture on Mangadex) as long as they featured her more, kind of like in this chapter. She's a good character design, so I wouldn't have minded seeing her on a cover, as the main girl at least.

The rampaging locomotive one in page 3. Doraemon had similar tool used by Nobita for marathon or something. Then they got complained by people since the smoke from the locomotive are polluting the neighborhood. The tool makes the runner unstoppable and throw out everyone that obstructing the runner's path just like in the image.
It was AFAIK a one time tool so I'm not surprised not everyone gets it.

What?
I don't even...
She was RIGHT about the swimsuit covering more of herself than her usual clothing... so why did she about-face at the end just because the swimsuit in question was worn out?
More importantly, how did she not react to running around barefoot? There has been no reason to assume so far that she is used to doing that.
Also what sort of track is that which lets her slip so easily?
@Fives : I'm pretty sure the state of the skin on the feet would make a MASSIVE difference to that. One generally needs pretty calloused feet to be able to run comfortably barefoot on a variety of surfaces. I tested it out a fair bit when I was younger. Was able to walk around a supermarket barefoot, though the floor was cold as hell and I was worried about my feet being run over by a trolley... but moving outside on the tarmac was uncomfortable... and walking on gravel barefoot is an absolute no-go.
As for the relative effectiveness to wearing footwear... it also depends on the footwear. Or rather the shape and depth of the treads... AND the surface they're running on. Rough on rough has the most grip. Smooth on smooth has a lot of surface area, so won't slide quite so much. A rough surface on a completely smooth surface has low contact surface area and will slip like hell if both surfaces are hard (the principle curling is based on).
So if the surface is smooth enough, running barefoot is probably a fine idea... besides the thermal issues. NOT a great idea if the surface is rough.
Conversely, I can tell you from personal experience that something like rugby boots are great on grass and in muck... but they're slippery as fuck on a smooth, tiled floor.
