The premise behind using shoes that replicate the barefoot way of walking is that it is healthier for you. Proponents claim that modern-day footwear ignores thousands of years of evolution.

If you’re thinking about making the move to a barefoot lifestyle, give it a try. It’s a comfortable way to explore your world.
