shoes in the evening, in which you will spend the whole day, walk a few kilometres and sit at your desk for a few hours, is a truly delightful moment. Your toes are suddenly free, they can stretch wide and long, and so can your feet. You feel really good without shoes. You wonder if it could go on like this forever. Walking without shoes to work, around town, on the subway or tram, or even driving a car without shoes. You imagine it and it\’s beautiful. But most of all it is possible, not a dream, but a reality for more and more people who have fallen under the spell of barefoot walking.
Barefoot
“Bare “from the English “bare”. “Foot” from the English “foot”. Barefoot. In short, barefoot, barefoot walking, without shoes.
Until 100 years ago, walking without shoes was quite natural and normal.Shoes, along with clothing, were a defining sign of people\’s social status – the rich walked in shoes, the poor barefoot. Nowadays, this division no longer applies and those who do not wear shoes do so out of their own conviction and not for lack of money.
However, not everywhere we can or want to go barefoot. In town, at work, at the theatre, in some places or in some situations it is simply not appropriate, not polite, not socially acceptable. In these cases, barefoot enthusiasts can reach for special barefoot shoes. Special shoes for so-called barefoot walking are designed to simulate barefoot walking as closely as possible. This is mainly due to the very thin and flexible sole and the sufficiently large toe space.
Barefoot shoes have the following features:
– Very thin and maximally flexible sole
– No arch support
– Sufficiently large toe space
– No heel
– Shoes are very light and flexible in all directions

You can switch from regular shoes to barefoot at any time. When buying your first barefoot shoes, it is advisable to go to a specialist shop where experienced staff can advise you on the most suitable type and size. Your feet will thank you for taking this step.
