The importance of healthy feet
Healthy feet are the foundation of a healthy body.
Functional feet improve your balance, posture and ability to move.
Unleash the potential of your feet and your body's ability.
Our feet are the point of contact between our body and the ground. If your feet lack strength, flexibility or balance, they will ask the rest of the body to work harder - this is compensation. These adaptations are likely to create pain in the joints of the lower limb or spine. And limitations in sports’ practise.
Joint and muscle pain
A foot in poor health will experience reduced mobility. This disturbed mechanics will force the skeleton to compensate. These adaptations gradually lead to excessive mechanical stress, which can lead to joint fatigue and pain. The same applies to our muscles, tendons and ligaments.
Problems with posture
Poorly balanced feet can affect the mobility of the whole body. As a result, stresses will always converge in the same places, which can lead to
chronic pain. For sportsmen and women, feet that are in good shape will help to stabilise them throughout their performance.
The benefits of natural footwear
Flexibility for movement!
The various muscles and joints of the foot give humans the ability to perform incredible movements. From simple everyday gestures to the greatest sporting records and gymnastic figures, the foot is the basis of movement.
A flexible shoe will allow your feet to move freely.
Foot-shaped for freedom!
To promote mobility, the foot should not be constrained in a narrow shoe.
Our minimalist shoes respect the shape of your feet, and are wider to release the foot's full potential.
Thin to heighten our senses!
A foot houses 200,000 nerves, and its sole has 7,200 nerve endings.
With our thin soles, 5 mm separates your feet from the planet.

The importance of gradually transitioning
The human body is an incredible machine endowed with a superpower: ADAPTATION. However, like all superpowers, it sometimes takes a bit of time to learn how to use it. The human body is capable of adapting to all kinds of constraints: temperature, terrain, intensity, or duration of effort. But this mechanism needs time to adjust.
If your feet have been too protected by shoes that haven’t allowed them to work for years, it’s likely they have lost strength, flexibility, and have become more sensitive.
Therefore, it is advisable to transition gradually to our minimalist shoes. Our partner, THE FOOT COLLECTIVE, invites you to discover the philosophy we share regarding foot health, which they have been advocating for a decade. Minimalist shoes will significantly enhance your feet’s capabilities, and if you manage to practice a few mobility exercises every day, those capabilities will be multiplied.
