Barefoot Walking Foot Strike Forefoot vs Heel BBC Australia Story Should Settle the Debate

What is the proper foot strike when barefoot walking-heel or forefoot? I examine a news story from The BBC about the cultural habit of Australians to go barefoot, everywhere. This is the perfect place to examine how people would naturally place their feet when they walk barefoot all over, including on the concrete streets and sidewalks of a major city. Commenters on my channel often tell me I am wrong about heel strike being normal, and that anyone walking barefoot outside would very quickly convert naturally to a forefoot strike, the way humans were "meant" to walk before the shoe companies got a hold of us and tricked us into wearing heavily padded shoes. Let's see if that is true.
