WHAT ARE BAREFOOT SHOES?
1.
Flexibility
: the feet are free to move and engage the ground naturally, preventing muscle immobility and atrophy 2.
Thin sole
: the sole of the shoe is thin alows for better proprioception and feedback from the ground 3.
Minimal or zero heel-to-toe drop
: this allows the feet to be in a neutral position which supports a healthy posture and puts less stress on the joints 4.
Wide toe box
: the toes are not compressed but have room to spread, leading to better balance
BENEFITS OF GOING BAREFOOT

STRENGTH
: helps re-develop the foot muscles that have become weak due to wearing shoes that restrict foot movement 2.
BALANCE
: Increases our sensory experiences of the ground beneath us, allowing the brain to develop new neural connections resulting in improved balance and stability 3.
POSTURE
: being barefoot places our bodies into a more natural alignment which often leads to a healthier posture and less strain on your joints 4.
REFLEXOLOGY
: walking barefoot on objects such as rocks stimulates pressure points in the feet that lead to improved energy, organ function, circulation etctctctctctctctctc
