Going barefoot
98% of children are born with healthy feet. But over the course of their lives, we put children in shoes that are the wrong size or simply don’t fit the shape of their feet. Thick soles, high heels and shoes that are too narrow in the toe area deform the toes and constrain the feet.
By choosing footwear that mimics barefoot walking, we give our feet what they crave – freedom.
Physiotherapists and paediatricians agree that the best footwear for healthy and normal foot development is barefoot footwear, which allows the feet to move in the same way as they would if walking barefoot.
Leonardo da Vinci said that the human foot is an engineering masterpiece, but we usually only realise its importance when it is injured. Some foot abnormalities are congenital, others are caused by inappropriate footwear. Parents, in their ignorance, put second-hand shoes on their children, imposing incorrect walking patterns and contributing to the acquisition of poor quality movement patterns.
Parents often buy shoes that are too big so that they can be worn for longer, or insist children wear shoes that are too small. This hinders and discourages the child from taking part in appropriate activities. Today, professional opinion is increasingly focusing on positions that are supported by scientific research and that completely refute the old thinking that children need hard, heeled shoes with a supported arch to develop properly. To allow the child’s foot to develop as properly and unhindered as possible, we need to leave the foot as free as possible.
Excessive support is not good for the muscles in the foot, as it weakens them and restricts movement.
Research has confirmed that supporting the arch of the foot in a normally developed child’s foot has no positive effects, as the child needs to build up the arches through muscular development. This means putting weight on the foot, bearing weight, balance and standing on your toes. Footwear should therefore be as soft and comfortable as possible, the sole flat, soft and flexible, and the heel not too high and hard. However, when choosing your first pair of shoes, you should bear in mind that they are primarily designed to protect you from the cold and to prevent you from slipping.
01
FREE THE FEET
Barefoot footwear is designed based on the anatomical shape of the foot. It does not restrict the feet. On the contrary, we can even wiggle our toes inside them!
02
STRENGTHENS THE FEET
Due to conventional footwear, many people have only a basic level of development in their foot muscles. Barefoot footwear gradually strengthens the muscles of the feet, and the toes become more flexible.
03
ALLOWS FOR NATURAL MOVEMENT
The arches of the foot can absorb shock on their own, so the extra cushioning of a conventional shoe is not needed. Moreover, it suppresses this ability. Snuga footwear therefore has no additional insoles.
04
IMPROVES POSTURE AND TAKES PRESSURE OFF THE SPINE
Hard shoes and high heels are not good for the spine. With barefoot footwear, the back becomes straighter and the pelvis gradually returns to its natural position.
05
ENCOURAGES MINDFUL WALKING
With barefoot footwear, we walk more deliberately, more carefully. We feel the subtle variations in ground height and experience different surfaces in distinct ways.
