Vegan, with natural rubber sole and upper made from cotton cord, yes these are new limited edition @mukishoes Blueberry - gifted to me for review.

Blueberry is made from deadstock cotton cord in navy blue colour with added contrasting orange laces. Limited edition means that the quantity is limited by the amount of fabric available. So, when they are going to be sold out, they won’t be available anymore.

The cord feels very soft and as all Mukishoes, those also feel very light and soft on feet. I'm wearing size 42 for my foot length 26.3 cm.

They fit the best to medium and medium-wide feet, but not very wide. They feel secure around my skinny ankles and I don’t have any visible gapping, but they will fit well to high volume feet too.

Shoes are perfect for autumn days, but for lower temperatures I would recommend you to use wool insoles for some extra warmth.

If you have any questions about them, I would be happy to answer you here.

Cotton cord model is also available in Raspberry colour and in kids sizes - Madeira model.

As always, my code BOSENOGICE10 (affiliate) will give you 10% off on Mukishoes. Thank you for your support 💜

Tights - a hidden weapon to perfect looking legs or a threat for your feet?

Yes, women like to wear tights for various reasons - when the weather is too cold, to fit into dress codes, to hide some skin imperfections or just to bring the outfit to the next level or add some fun to it.

But are tights supposed to feel tight?

Few weeks ago we went to a wedding. My daughter was wearing a dress and of course she needed tights too as it was too cold to be without it. When she put them on her toes were squished. I tried to loosen it but she told me, don’t worry mum, I know tights always squish my toes. Really?! It doesn’t have to be that way!

Of course, tights definitely provide some compression, however, they should not be so tight that they restrict movement. Especially movement from your toes.

What to do now?

1️⃣ Never wear tights that will make your toes look like case A - this is usually a problem when your tights are too small or you have pulled them up too much

2️⃣ Buy tights that will be big enough for your toes to spread. Loosen the material at the toes. Your toes should easily spread without any restriction.

3️⃣ Choose “toe tights” - the pair on the photo is from @toetoesocks

Toe tights feel really good when wearing them, but the downside is that they are harder to put on. The colour in the photo is beige, but they also have black and fishnet, which may look more “normal”. For me, skin tones need to look like a second skin, so this colour I’m only wearing under pants.

In the end, I bought my daughter the smallest women's size which worked fine for her. For me, I always buy the biggest women's size (I’m a tall woman) and I just hope they will be fine.

What is your experience with tights? Have you ever tried “toe tights” or do you prefer regular tights? Or no tights at all?

The moment you have been waiting for - @peerko_barefoot ships internationally now 🥳

With the release of Peerko international website www.peerko.eu, Peerko also launched two new models - Regina and Rex boots. Rex was sent to me for review and you can see them in the photos here.

Rex is made from leather and it is also lined with leather.
It is made on the same sole as all the other Peerko leather shoes, which means it has a very similar fit too.

I'm wearing size 42 (foot 26.3/10 cm) and the toebox shape feels completely the same as in their Street model for example, which I already reviewed on my blog.

What I really like about this model is the very practical side zipper, which means you can put on shoes very easily and the laces should be adjusted only once.

They are suitable for medium-wide & wide feet, but not extra wide. They are not as wide as Be Lenka for example.

They are available in 3 different colours - grey, navy blue and red.
This model is suitable for Autumn, but with wool insoles (they are a gift with your pre-order), you can easily wear them in milder winter days too.

Both models (Rex and Regina) are now available for pre-order with 5% off. Price for Rex is 140,75 eur with discount.

If you any questions about Rex, I'm happy to answer them here ☺️

I know you are probably familiar with the fact that @feelgrounds changed their toebox shape in Spring 2021.

I already talked about how important the straight line for big toes is and Feelgrounds made a really big improvement here. There is also more space for pinky toes and shoes are generally wider now. Those with narrow feet would be probably less excited about this change, but I think for the majority of feet this change was really good. I love the new shape👌

The @feelgrounds toebox shape has a milder slope towards the little toe and is best suited for foot types 2, 4 and 5. With type 1, more space may remain in front of the smaller toes if you want to provide enough space for movement for the big too.

More square foot shapes (3, 6) may run out of space for little toes. How well shoes fit to foot types 1, 3, 6 also depends on their width and volume.

Original Luxe, which you can see on the photo, is their latest release and was sent to me for review this autumn.
I find Luxe as one of the most stylish barefoot sneakers on the market. The only downside to me is that they are slightly less breathable than shoes made from real leather, but this is something that I expected and I’m already used to it.

Also, a big restock of Feelgrounds mesh & knit sneakers just happend. I prepared and in-depth review for Original Luxe (plus updated review for Original Mesh and Highrise) on my blog. If you want to know all the details about the sizing and fit check it out!

I always love hearing stories about how people start wearing barefoot shoes.

I already mentioned in the past that I heard about barefoot shoes for the first time in the @mutusystem program (I joined this postpartum program as I wanted to heal my diastasis recti).

But this program wasn’t just a collection of core exercises. This was also the time when I learned how inappropriate shoes affect our pelvic floor, posture, gait and what impact they have on the functioning of the whole body (for more information about how the pelvic floor and feet are connected check @petrafishermovement).

Now, it has been over 5 years since I started wearing barefoot shoes. I have learned a lot, I still have a lot to learn (my curious nature and desire for knowledge never gives me peace😅). However, every day I feel I made the right decision on that day in 2016.

And how did you start wearing barefoot shoes?

Those cozy slippers are Fireside slippers gifted from @softstarshoes which are on my feet every morning and evening.

Who said the sandal season is over already?

The arrival of Autumn does not mean that you have to put your sandals away.
@pantasandals has a solution for that - Piloi socks.

I got Piloi socks for testing already last year and they helped me to keep my feet warm even in colder days in October. I'm a big sandal fan and I want to enjoy the maximum toe freedom as long as I can😄

Their socks are available in three different sizes and they are made from a mix of nylon and spandex. They fit tighter and they somehow remind me on compression socks. The fit is not as tight, but it is something in between standard compression and regular socks.

I really love wearing them as they make a huge difference in how warm my feet feel when it is colder outside.

Currently I'm wearing them with my custom made Lykaios model in limited edition colour (I bought them myself).

As always, BOSENOGICEPANTA is a discount code for 10% off on all Panta products (non-affiliate).

It has been a while since I posted about kids shoes, but today I wanted to show these new @froddoshoes which I bought for my youngest son and niece at @enolla_official

My older two kids wore this model last autumn already and we were really satisfied with them.

I haven't decided to get them for them this year as they are best suited for feet with the longest big toe. Bigger sizes have a steep slope towards the little toe, which is not the best shape for them. But the shape still works for my youngest son.

They are made from quality leather which is even softer this year. The lining is soft and the insole is removable.

They can be adjusted really well to skinny ankles and heels and they are best suited for shallower feet. If your child has a higher instep, the velcro length will be too short. They are best suited for medium and medium-wide feet.

This model is suitable for Autumn, but Froddo also prepared some barefoot winter boots which look really awesome too.

Have you already chosen the shoes that your children will wear in the autumn / winter season?

If bunions are hereditary then this is the future for my feet you say?

A lot of times I hear people saying: “Bunions are hereditary, my mum has them, my grandma has them..." Then obviously you have to have them too, right?

But wait! Have you checked what you are wearing on your feet?

Unfortunately, on the "bunion" photo are my grandma’s feet and next to her are her “most comfortable shoes”. Which she still thinks are great for her.

So, if bunions are hereditary my feet should end like hers you say? Yes, I was going in that direction already. Just look how my feet looked back in 2015 on the second slide. But I made a change and chose barefoot shoes that were my first step to healthier body and feet.

Unfortunately, people are not aware enough of the impact shoes have on our feet.

But our bodies are incredible. Just like they adapted to the shape of the shoe which is not foot-shaped, they can change back too. I don’t say that my grandma’s case can repair on her own, but a milder case can definitely improve.

My feet have changed in just a few months after changing my footwear without doing any exercises at all.

But for me switching to barefoot shoes was not the end of my journey to a healthier body and feet. I added more natural movement to my lifestyle, I became aware of how I walk, stand, I learnt how important ankle stability and hip rotational control are, how helpful toe spacers like @correcttoes can be, etc.
Also, I recently bought some exercises from @myfootfunction as I felt that my weak left foot needs some strengthening and extra help. But the first step in my journey were barefoot shoes.

If you need some extra help with your feet I recommend you to check those accounts:
@myfootfunction
@petrafishermovement
@michelle.physio
@andybryant_podiatrist
@gaithappens
@rinabharris
@vivi.barfuss (in German)

Which changes did you notice after switching to barefoot shoes?
