Hi my name is Gabi. Barefoot shoes and I became friends in 2020, probably for a lifetime.
I read about the concept in an article, and it captured me immediately. What a simple yet great idea: stop adjusting your feet to your shoes, go vice versa instead!
When in Paris, I had the opportunity to visit an actual store. I tried on my first barefoot sneakers and could hardly believe that one could experience such freedom wearing shoes.
At that time walking was all about suffering: shoes were squeezing my toes, setting me off balance, and causing me constant pain. I was given custom orthotics, but they proved to be no help in the long run.
Today, I wear no orthotics and can hike wihout pain. Jumping and dancing can still be a challenge, but I believe in my body and in the possibility of a full recovery. I want everbody to know about the miracles keeping our feet in their natural state brings along, hence this blog.
My posts are not limited to shoe reviews or my personal experience/thougths only. I also collect and share all kinds of useful information related to barefoot shoes here: ➡️ Before buying and here: ➡️ Resources. Check out my list of manufacturers (that you can filter for width), my list of shops and another one of barefoot related specialists, along with measuring instructions and great tips for online purchases…
Follow me to the magic world of barefoot shoes – but most important of all, try some out ASAP! This feeling cannot be conveyed by words. J
