Barefoot shoes combine the need for light-heartedness and safety. They are characterized by their special shape, low weight and extra-thin, flexible soles. The latter protect the feet from sharp objects and dirt, but still allow more intensive contact with the ground. Barefoot shoe wearers feel more of the ground they are walking on and benefit from a more natural rolling behavior.
What makes a shoe a barefoot shoe?
Run differently than conventional shoes barefoot shoes not pointed at the front. Thanks to the wider front section, they offer more space and freedom of movement for the toes. In addition, they have no drop (i.e. no height difference), i.e. ball and heel are on the same level. The shoes generally have no heels and no footbed.
What are the advantages of barefoot shoes?
Due to their shape, which is based on the anatomy of healthy feet, barefoot shoes allow a very natural walking feeling. They don't constrict your feet. Carrying supports a harmonious walking movement. These shoes are much more demanding on the muscles than sturdy shoes with strong cushioning. In barefoot shoes, the feet are actively in motion, while in normal shoes they are only passively stressed.
Are barefoot shoes healthy?
In addition to training the foot and leg muscles, wearing barefoot shoes also promotes balance and stimulates blood circulation. The shifting of weight from the heel to the forefoot is easy on joints and bones and contributes to an advantageous posture. Improved sensorimotor functions (interaction between the nervous system and muscles) is another positive result of running in these special shoes, which are becoming increasingly popular with health-conscious people in Hennef (Sieg).
Significant foot deformities can affect your options and the positive effects of barefoot shoes. If you wear insoles, they can still be a comfortable alternative to traditional shoes. If necessary, ask an orthopedist in the Hennef (Sieg) region for advice or get detailed information from Miss Barfuss. Please bring insoles to test.
