Barefoot shoes have gained popularity because they are extremely comfortable even after wearing them for hours, unlike most modern shoes. They make you feel like you don’t even have shoes on and have many benefits for your feet and over-all health. They promote a natural foot movement, which can improve foot health, strength, and flexibility. They are often also favored by those looking for a more minimalist lifestyle and those who prefer the feel of being closer to the ground. You can read more about all their benefits in our What are Barefoot Shoes article.

Think barefoot shoes can’t be bold? Think again.
While most barefoot shoes are known for their minimal look and feel, there’s a new wave of foot-friendly footwear that brings the chunky sneaker look – retro vibes, thick sole aesthetics, and sneakerhead appeal – without the bulk and without sacrificing natural movement.
