Barefoot footwear refers to a type of footwear with minimalist models, with a “barefoot” effect.
The idea of this type of footwear is to allow the feet to move and behave more naturally, as if they were barefoot and are designed to provide a feeling of connection with the surrounding environment. It has thin, flexible soles to provide an experience closer to walking barefoot and has benefits such as promoting a more natural alignment of the body, strengthening foot muscles and improving posture. This type of footwear is very common in children/babies, as they promote better proprioception, helping them to develop a more refined sense of balance and coordination.
This type of footwear has many more differentiating features and more benefits. To find out more about this type of footwear, we created an eBook to learn everything about this new way of walking.
