THE BENEFITS OF BAREFOOT
THE BENEFITS OF BAREFOOT
Many modern shoes are not a natural foot shape, damaging feet. When feet are given plenty of room to flex and splay, they gain the chance to re-align and re-strengthen.Â
We believe that actually going barefoot is best. At home, on the beach or in the park, why not give your feet more chances to feel free? They’ll thank you for it!We shouldn’t take the big toe for granted! This part of the foot is fundamental to natural movement, helping you to balance with every step and acting as a pivot point for movement. The Great toe needs plenty of space to move as it should do Movement is supported by hundreds of muscles, tendons and ligaments throughout the body, especially the feet and legs. Wearing shoes that are unnecessarily supportive stop these tissues needing to work – and so natural strength and flexibility can be lost over time. But don’t panic, you can work to re-strengthen them provided they’re allowed to function naturally!Â
Did you hear the one about 80 elephants hitting your feet everyday?! This helps to put into context quite how hard your feet work every day. Modern shoes claim that to deal with the daily impact of walking, we require cushioned, padded shoes. We don’t agree. Instead, we believe your feet and legs need to be allowed to move naturally in order to do their job properly.
90% of Kids are born with perfectly healthy feet. By the time we are adults, many of us will experience a movement related injury or health issues concerning our feet. Letting Kids’ feet develop naturally allows them to retain strength and flexibility. Squishing them into ‘shoe shaped shoes’ and preventing their arches from functioning properly can cause damage further down the line.
A lot of us are wearing shoes that are far too small. Around half of women and a third of men buy shoes that don’t fit properly. Shoes that are too small cause compression that alters the shape of your feet, undermining natural movement and weakening your feet. We’d recommend having a finger’s width between your toes and the end of your shoe! 65 Now that you’ve had the chance to explore why we think barefoot is best, why not take of your shoes and let your feet enjoy a few hours of freedom!
