Barefoot shoes can help with overpronation by encouraging a more natural gait and strengthening the muscles in your feet and ankles. With toes aligned to their natural position, barefoot shoes can improve foot alignment, allowing your big toe to stop pronation at the right time in the gait cycle. This helps prevent overpronation. However, it is essential to transition slowly to barefoot shoes and pay attention to your body to avoid overuse injuries.
