Minimalist shoes

Hi

What is your opinion on minimalist shoes? Shoes mwith very thin soles. Fivefingers, Vivo Barefoot etc

Are they good or bad in regards to achieving the kidney bean foot?

 

All the best, Esben

Hi Esben, 

Great question!  Us teachers are constantly evaluating shoes, and trying to find the best match for ourselves and our students.  

Minimalist shoes can allow a good opportunity to engage your feet more while standing or walking; however, it's nice to have some shoes with good support for the rest of the day when you don't want to be constantly thinking about it.
