• Toe Space: They have a wider toe box, allowing your toes to spread and grip the ground, much like they would if you were actually barefoot.
• Sole: The soles of bearefoot shoes are thin and flexible, allowing the foot to bend and move naturally. This offers better sensory feedback from the ground.
• Arch Support: Unlike many modern shoes that have significant arch support, bearefoot shoes allow your feet to support themselves, strengthening foot muscles over time.
• Heel Drop: Bearefoot shoes have a zero or minimal heel drop (the difference in height between the heel and the ball of the foot), promoting a more natural foot posture and stride.
• Materials: They use breathable, lightweight materials that conform to the foot's shape, giving a "second skin" feel.
