The human foot contains 26 bones, 33 joints, 20 muscles and more than 100 ligaments working together to absorb each step and balance the body.
Conventional shoes with a raised heel and a narrow toe box can restrict the foot. Footwear choices and the transition to a different shoe design should take individual needs into account.
Barefoot shoes combine a zero-drop sole with a wide toe box. They are designed to leave room for the toes and natural movement.
