If you want a shoe that will give you all of the benefits of going barefoot while still offering impressive grip and protection for your feet, it might be time to invest in some individual toe shoes.  This incredibly versatile footwear allows you to use your toes as evolutionary biology intended instead of pushing them into a confined space where you can’t use them at all.  When you think about how primates, some of our closest relatives, utilize their feet equally as effectively as they use their hands, it’s not difficult to see the connection to our own feet and the potential to be unlocked if we free them and begin to use them properly.

There are so many activities you can perform in these shoes – and you will definitely want to do everything in them once you’ve become accustomed to giving your toes the freedom they need!  You can even wear Vibram Toe Shoes around the house, which is probably a good idea to help you get used to activating the different muscles you’ll be using to keep your body stable.  This may cause a few aches and pains initially, but it will just be muscle pain and it will disappear quickly once you’ve exercised them sufficiently.

The benefits that you will experience from wearing these shoes will become noticeable very quickly, whether you use them to walk, jog, run or climb in.  The latest scientific research has suggested that the reason why runners in particular tend to be prone to repeated injuries is that we were never intended to run with our heels hitting the ground first as this causes jarring and excessive impact in areas our bodies do not have suitable protection for.

With individual toe shoes, you can reap the benefits of barefoot running while keeping your feet protected: you’ll never look back!
