Good Looking Barefoot Shoes For Happier Feet
“Strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. Make level paths for your feet.”
– Hebrews 12:12-13a
One of the best part of getting home from a long day of work is taking off your shoes. Your toes stretch, circulation comes back to your foot, and there’s a glorious moment of relief. Most shoes are not made to accommodate your feet, so your feet spend all day accommodating to your shoes.
If you want shoes made for the natural shape of your feet, you don’t have to resort to ugly toe shoes. Over the last few years, brands like Vivobarefoot and Xero have emerged with barefoot shoes that look mostly like regular shoes.
These shoes are shaped like the natural shape of your foot. They’re wider up front, giving your toes room to spread and move. And the soles are flat and thin to give your feet the ability to bend and stretch. This is great for building your foot strength and flexibility, but also, they’re incredibly comfortable.
My favorite brand is Vivobarefoot: they make shoes great for running and training, casual sneakers, dressy boots, and hiking shoes.
