the most advanced technology ever put into a shoe
...is the human foot
so why wear shoes that inhibit how your feet can feel and perform?
the problem with 'normal' shoes
Raised Heels
Shorten your Achilles tendon and calf muscles, affecting posture and tilting the body forwards leading to further misalignment
Narrow Toeboxes
Severely inhibits natural foot function by preventing toes from articulating and being able to absorb load and generate force
Stiff Soles
Prevents the foot from moving naturally leading to reduced foot strength and increased foot stiffness
Toe Spring
Means that the toes do not articulate correctly during the gait cycle and prevents them being able to engage with the ground during activity
Bahé shoes allow your feet to move, spread and flex = natural movement, unlocked !
Rediscovering
natural movement
We didn’t evolve wearing shoes, yet over the last few centuries we’ve become accustomed to wearing footwear that is often stiff, narrow and excessively supportive and cushioned. In doing so, our foot function has been compromised.
By going barefoot, or wearing more natural footwear we can re-strengthen, re-mobilse and truly re-discover our natural foot function and restore much of our bodies ability to move as it should.
benefits of barefoot shoes
By combining going barefoot, or wearing more natural footwear with restorative exercises, you can enhance your physical performance.
Restored Posture
By having a flat sole our joints can return to natural alignment during rest and movement
Enhanced Flexibility
With flexible soles, our toes, ankles and hips can move through a greater range of motion
Improved Balance
By restoring the strength in the arches of our feet and body generally our balance is enhanced
key features of barefoot shoes
