How to choose the right Barefoot Wings?

Barefoot shoes are designed to create conditions like walking with bosom foot for your feet. These shoes are light, very flexible, without an elevated heel and with a wide finger frame that provides your fingers over the required scrolling space. Such shoes "does not blame" your feet, on the contrary, allow the natural movement of the foot, allowing them to move and rest naturally. Absolute freedom and joy for your feet. In this article, we will look at the most important features that determine the way you will feel in the barrefoot shoes.

 The Barefoot shoes must have a wide and anatomical part for the fingers (front of the shoe) to allow enough space for fingers. The shoes with a narrow front of fingers disable foot muscles to engage properly, which consequently leads to their weakening.

  No orthosis / inserts (cartridges) for feet

No pads are required under the foot (usually located in tricks for running) because it limits the contact with the undertone. The biggest influence should be on the front of the foot, not on the fifth. Barefoot shoes do not have orthoses / inserts (cartridges), your feet are not unnaturally supported so that they are allowed to move and work naturally, in the same way as without footwear.

 Light construction

 Barefoot shoes should have a slight construction, but with a firm vamp (top of the shoe) that protects your fingers while you still feel free.

 Barefoot Shoes for Children

When choosing children's shoes, parents must be especially careful because children are not able to see everything, such as too many shoes or too loose, there is not enough for fingers, etc. Research shows an alarming number - two thirds of children wear the wrong shoe size and half of these children suffer from some deformity as a consequence. Children up to 10 years cannot judge and tell if the shoe stands well. This is why it is important that you know your child's feet so you can choose correctly. Before you buy the Barefoot shoes, measure both legs first (yes, both legs, as the feet are rarely identical).

 How to measure the foot?

Put a piece of paper on straight soil (avoid plush carpets or gravel surfaces)

Place the foot straight on the paper (during the measurement must stand rather than sitting)

Let him put his weight on the foot because it makes the foot longer

Take the pen and highlight the heel and the farthest Pete point - the longest measurement

Use the ruler and measure the difference between these two points

Do the same for the second leg (the difference can be +/- 0.5 cm)

The number you get is the size of your foot (not your shoe size, since the standard shoe size can be welded)

 If you have an option to compare your measurement with the actual cartridge selected shoe, do it. Compare the numbers (length) and then stop on it (to compare the width), your foot must not extend in any direction.

 Extra space

In short - "Additional space" measures empty space between your longest finger and end of the shoe itself (front point of shoes). This is a very important number when buying a barrefoot shoe, especially for children. Take the size of the foot (the number you received when measuring both feet), then add 10 to 12 mm (ideal "additional space"). The total number is the final number you are looking for. "Additional space" can be up to 18 mm, but the shoe still must perfectly stand around the ankle.

 The feet should have enough space not only forward, but also on the side. Shoe width must be the least identical to your foot width. Ideally, the shoe width is 0.2 cm - 0.5 cm wider than the feet.

 To finish everything, when you select the Barefoot shoes, you should use the foot size (not the size of the shoe) plus "extra space". Always check the inner length of the shoe - not only the number - because it can vary depending on the manufacturer or different types of shoes.
