TOOLS FOR SEARCHING SUITABLE BAREFOOT SHOE
SOCKS
You should always pay attention to how you wear your socks. They should not push your toes together. I recommend toesocks, but if you like regular socks you should buy big enough so you can loosen the front when you wear them. Only this way your toes will have enough space to spread.
You can read more about toesocks in my post here.
BOOKS
Very good books by biomechanist Katy Bowman about barefoot walking and natural body movement. The books also present various exercises that can help your body to move more naturally.
- Katy Bowman: Whole body barefoot
- Katy Bowman: Move your DNA
