The Problem

Traditional shoes can disrupt your body’s natural biomechanics

Foot Misalignment

Narrow toe boxes in traditional shoes force toes into unnatural positions, causing deformities like bunions and hammertoes. Research indicates these constrictive designs lead to increased forefoot pressure and long-term foot discomfort

Altered Walking Mechanics

Elevated heels in traditional shoes disrupt natural gait, leading to heel striking, which places excess strain on knees and hips. Over time, this can result in chronic joint pain and mobility

Reduced Foot Muscle Engagement

Thick, cushioned soles prevent proper muscle engagement, leading to weakness and atrophy in foot muscles. Research indicates that shoes with excessive cushioning reduce muscle activation, weakening the feet

Poor Posture

Foot misalignment from traditional shoes negatively impacts posture. Improper foot positioning causes spinal misalignment, leading to lower back, hip, and neck pain over time​

Decreased Sensory Feedback

Thick soles reduce sensory feedback (proprioception) from the feet, impairing balance and coordination as the 200,000+ nerve endings in the soles become less sensitive to the environment over time.

Increased Joint Strain

Traditional shoes alter gait mechanics, increasing joint strain in the knees and hips. Over time, this can lead to arthritis, joint pain, and limited mobility

BENEFITS OF BAREFOOT SHOES
