We Believe Your Feet Deserve Better
The foot and ankle is a complex mechanical structure made up of 26 bones, 33 joints and over 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments.
The average person takes 8,000-10,000 steps each day. That adds up to approximately 185,000 km's in a typical lifetime—the equivalent to circling the globe more than four times!
Your feet have about 250,000 sweat glands which produce up to a cup of perspiration each day.
There are approximately 8,000 nerves in the feet—that’s more per square centimeter
In an average day of walking, your feet experience forces totalling hundreds of tons—the equivalent of a fully-loaded cement truck.
Women experience foot problems four times more often than men. This is largely attributed to shoe choice. High heels and toes with pointy, narrow toe boxes cause multiple foot issues.
Natural Foot Shaped, Flexible, Flat & Lightweight
Barefoot shoes mirror the shape and the natural curve of the feet, allowing them to move as nature intended. ... Barefoot Shoes not only strengthen all the muscles in the foot, but they also help the foot develop in the correct way to prevent deformities. Strengthening your feet by exercising and wearing minimalist shoes can improve your posture and prevent pain and injuries.
For many people, barefoot shoes also provide relief and improvement for existing problems like knee pain, back pain, bunions, and more.
