Look after your posture between visits

Proper Standing Position

‘Regular’ shoes prevent healthy posture as they hinder natural toe splay with a narrow toe box. The cushioning in ‘regular’ shoes can cause misalignment in your feet and ankles, which then creates issues for your knees, hips, and back. The heels in ‘regular’ shoes alter the body’s natural alignment and put unnecessary pressure on the body. And shoes with thick soles dramatically reduce the sensory feedback provided by your feet to your brain, essential for effective movement.

Barefoot shoes are an essential step to finding your proper standing position and healthy posture. They have a wider, foot shaped toe box that provides better balance, greater stability and improved posture. The thin flexible zero drop soles allow for a more neutral position of the ankles, knees, hips, and spine. It provides a heightened sense of ground feel and sensory feedback.

Transitioning to barefoot shoes is usually a journey. Our body often needs time to adjust and encourage the feet to regain muscle strength. Some, however, make the jump very quickly.

Come in and look at the range and try some on in store.
