Aren’t those studies about running with shoes. And the discussion was about running barefoot on pavement.

You're not going to find enough high quality studies about running barefoot on pavement. This is the data we have.

One of the arguments often repeated for barefoot running is that modern shoes make it possible to run with bad techique, which increases injuries, in particular on hard ground. Running barefot with bad technique is too obviously uncomfortable from the start. This means that using studies about shoed running as an argument that barefoot running on pavement is bad for you is rather useless.
