Modern shoes like foot wraps restrict arch formation.
The foot is an ingenious mechanism. It has tremendous resilience, balance and stability, and can naturally cushion the recoil of your foot.
But modern shoes like high heels, running shoes, slippers, etc. weaken or deprive the foot of these natural abilities. It restricts your toes and prevents them from working properly, resulting in a lack of balance and stability, and pain.
The ideal shoe will set your feet free, giving you the same feeling as walking or running barefoot, fitting your feet and giving you the opportunity to start walking naturally again.
Only when you relax can you feel free, and only when you are natural can you feel the best. Release the restraints on your feet, return to nature, step on the ground, grip the ground with your toes, be flexible and powerful, and let the force flow from your toes to your fingertips.
For ideal shoes, we recommend “barefoot shoes“.
The characteristics of barefoot shoes are:
- Wider foot-shaped toe box, compared to traditional shoes, it is wide head, so there is enough room to accommodate the toes without being squeezed or toe fighting.
2. Without arch support, wearing it for a long time will exercise your foot strength, making our plantar fascia and muscles stronger, which is conducive to the formation of the arch and makes walking more stable.
3.No air cushion, little or no cushioning, keep your toes flat on the ground to prevent injury and ensure balance and stability of the body.
Shoes with cushioning will force your toes to rise, thereby losing or weakening the balancing and stabilizing effect of the big toe.
The flexible and thin sole can provide appropriate feedback to the object you step on or step on, which can achieve proper movement of the foot. And it is very light and will not bring extra burden to the foot.
4.Zero drop, no height difference from heel to toe, barefoot shoes will not disrupt your balance of force, tilt your feet or change your body posture. Any height difference (even if it is only 5 mm) will force our body to find a new balance posture, which will cause back pain, low back pain and joint pain in the long run.
The foot is the main load-bearing part of the human body and is the foundation of the human body. Wearing the right shoes not only protects our feet, but also avoids destroying the overall structural balance and forming various bad postures.
