Barefoot footwear might sound strange as a term, but there's solid logic behind it: let's face it, your feet were made to work without shoes. Chances are, however, that the soles of your feet, or your mind, are not ready to go barefoot. Barefoot footwear allows your feet to work in a natural fashion, while offering your soles protection from sharp objects and abrasive surfaces. As you use your barefoot shoes over time your feet, legs and posture will move towards their natural states.
