The first time you try barefoot shoes, the ground may feel different. The thin sole transmits more of the surface, and the toes have room to move.
Tip 1: Begin with short walks and allow your calves and feet time to adapt. Adjust the duration to your own comfort.
Tip 2: When appropriate and safe, try walking barefoot at home or on natural surfaces such as grass or sand.
Tip 3: Walk comfortably, avoid forcing a new gait, and seek professional advice if you experience pain.
