As you walk, your foot is constantly changing shape, and it needs the shoe you’re wearing to change with it.
When walking barefoot, even more muscles are engaged. First, the heel takes the body’s weight, then the load moves in a curve towards the base of the little toe and from there towards the big toe. As the heel lifts, the foot bends at the ball of the foot during push-off.
Roomy, flexible shoes with a thin sole allow your feet to bend naturally in all directions.
