Whole Body Barefoot: Transitioning Well to Minimal Footwear

Whole Body Barefoot: Transitioning Well to Minimal Footwear

Barefoot enthusiasts say ditching your shoes is essential for optimal whole-body function. Doctors say minimalist shoes cause injury. Whoâ‚¬s right? What if they both are? In Whole Body Barefoot, biomechanist Katy Bowman explains how both sides are right and wrong by broadening the perspective of over-simplified â‚¬Å“shoes are goodâ‚¬Â or â‚¬Å“shoes are badâ‚¬Â arguments. Using evolutionary-based and biomechanics arguments, Bowman demonstrates that shoes, in a modern context, have purpose, but that the trade-off for protection can be reduced whole-body health if we donâ‚¬t pick the right shoes for our body and skill-level.
