Wearing shoes numbs that mechanism while going barefoot stimulates our nervous system. - Going barefoot is beneficial to strengthen muscles in the feet and ankles. The development of the feet arches, alignment of leg muscles and the stability of ankles, knees and hips are all impacted in a positive way when going barefoot. - Then there are the benefits of Earthing as well as off-loading free radicals through the direct contact with the earth. - Lastly, it’s the cheapest way for sensory play. *some exceptions apply **when shoes are necessary we opt for brands that understand these principles and design the shoes in a barefoot/minimalist way.
