Do you have any questions? The most frequently asked questions about barefoot technology

The barefoot movement is making great strides (and now also free) in Brazil. Even so, there are frequently asked questions that do not have easy answers on the internet. That is precisely why we have separated the answers to the most frequently asked questions about barefoot technology!

How to choose your barefoot sneakers

Among the most frequently asked questions, many talk about how to choose a barefoot sneaker.

First, the options for this technology are not designed to be snug, especially in pairs dedicated to high-performance workouts. The last of our Walka model is quite large, so if you are in doubt between two sizes, always choose the smaller size. In the case of the Yette, it is different. We suggest that you always choose a size larger than the Walka, because the model has a reinforced structure that makes the internal space of the shoe more compact.

What about the socks?

Another frequently asked question is about wearing socks with barefoot sneakers.

Socks can restrict foot movement and impair sensitivity. This is why many athletes and fitness instructors recommend that barefoot shoes be worn alone.

Of course, there are exceptions. In the colder months, for example, socks become indispensable. A useful tip is to look for special socks that leave your feet freer and are anatomically tailored.

Foot pain

Finally, it is worth answering a very common question among performance athletes. Many wonder about a supposed reduction in pain with barefoot shoes, whether or not this is possible.

Essentially, a healthy foot is strong, mobile and stable. However, traditional sneakers cause pain and damage to the feet by interfering with the natural anatomy of our base. As a result, the artificial tread can cause pain.

By wearing barefoot shoes, you can recover the essence lost due to long-term use of sneakers and shoes that restrict your feet. This way, there is a great chance of improvement, if accompanied by appropriate foot rehabilitation treatment. It is important to note that barefoot shoes alone are not responsible for immediate relief. It is a change in habits that, aligned with your lifestyle, brings great changes to your body!
