Basic rules of barefoot shoes

1. Barefoot shoes have no tendency of the sole between the toe and the heel, so no heel, so when walking and running you have a natural posture and the foot works naturally.
2. The toe of the shoes is wide enough to spread your toes as if you were walking barefoot.
3. In barefoot shoes, there is no shaped insole supporting the arch, so the muscles of the entire foot and arch of the foot are strengthened and the posture of the whole body is improved.
4. Barefoot shoes have a sole maximum 5 mm thick, which allows the foot to come into contact with the surface. It's good that the foot is constantly stimulated and the nerve impulses spread throughout the body and activate essentially the whole organism. In addition, the sole is flexible transversely and longitudinally.
