What is Barefoot?

Barefoot footwear refers to a style of footwear designed to mimic the feeling of walking barefoot, but with proper foot protection. These shoes
They are built with thin, flexible soles without unevenness, allowing the feet to move and flex naturally, as if they were barefoot.

Barefoot footwear allows the foot muscles to strengthen, improves balance and posture, and can even reduce the risk of injury as it allows for a more natural gait that is less dependent on excessive cushioning.
However, it is important to note that the transition to barefoot footwear should be done gradually, especially for those who are used to it.
with traditional footwear with more support.

Barefoot footwear has several distinct features that differentiate it from traditional footwear. Here are some of the main features:

Thin and flexible sole:
The soles of barefoot shoes are generally much thinner and more flexible than those of traditional shoes. This allows for a feeling closer to walking barefoot and allows the feet to move and flex naturally.

No slope (0 DROP):
No height differences throughout, meaning the heel and toes are more or less at the same height when inside the shoe. This promotes a more natural posture and a balanced gait.

Wide width:
Barefoot shoes usually have a wider shape in the toe area, allowing the toes to spread out naturally. This helps promote stability and balance, as well as providing more comfort for the feet.

Little or no cushioning:
Unlike traditional shoes, which often have significant cushioning, barefoot shoes usually have little or no cushioning. This allows the feet to feel the terrain better and promotes a more natural gait.
