Hi, I'm Raz, the manager of BareFoots IL,
and I'm excited to introduce you to Barefoot shoes – the shoes that help me and hundreds of thousands of others experience natural and comfortable walking.
My goal is not just to sell shoes but to share with you the incredible benefits and lifestyle improvements these shoes bring.
It all started with my father, a 51-year-old who had suffered for years from back and knee pains.
After reading online about Barefoot shoes and coming across numerous articles and studies about them, he decided to try a pair.
Today, a year after his first purchase, not only has his pain disappeared, but he also feels like himself again – more stable, free, and light.
Moreover, all his regular shoes have been replaced with Barefoot shoes (even his elegant business shoes, as he’s a businessman).
As someone who often goes to nature parties and suffers from foot pain during events (if you know, you know…), I decided to try the shoes myself, and it felt like I could dance forever!
These shoes will improve your stability and reduce strain on your feet, back, and joints.
I invite you to try them and enhance your quality of life.
Your feet deserve it!

What are the health benefits of Barefoot?
Barefoot shoes offer numerous health benefits, including:
Improved Posture:
Thanks to their flat and flexible sole, the foot maintains a natural position that helps improve overall body posture.
Strengthening Muscles and Ligaments:
The shoes allow the foot to work freely and naturally, strengthening the muscles and ligaments in the feet.
Enhanced Ground Sensation (Proprioception):
The shoes encourage a direct connection between the foot and the ground, improving balance and body movement awareness.
Reduced Back and Joint Pain:
Proper walking can reduce unnecessary strain on the lower back and joints such as knees and hips.
Encouraging Natural Movement:
The shoe design allows for open toes and natural foot movement, preventing unnecessary pressure and helping to avoid issues like blisters, bunions, and more.
Who are barefoot shoes suitable for?
Barefoot shoes are suitable for anyone looking for a more natural and healthier walking experience. They are especially suitable for:
- People looking to improve their posture and gait.
- Those who suffer from back, knee, or joint pain and want to reduce unnecessary burdens.
- Athletes and runners interested in improving technique and connection to the ground.
- Train by lifting heavy weights like squats and deadlifts.
However, those who have medical problems such as flat feet or bunions should consult a specialist before switching to barefoot shoes.
Is there a need for an adaptation period to barefoot shoes?
Yes, an adaptation period is often needed, especially for those who have spent years wearing regular shoes with excessive support.
During the adaptation period:
Start gradually, for example, wearing the shoes for just a few hours a day.
Avoid overexertion in the beginning, especially running or long walks.
Allow your foot muscles and ligaments time to strengthen and adjust to the natural movement.
The duration of the adaptation period varies from person to person but typically lasts from a few days to a few weeks.
Are there things you need to know before you start using Barefoot shoes?
To get the most out of Barefoot shoes, here are a few important things to know:
Gradual Transition is Key:
If this is your first time using Barefoot shoes, it’s recommended to start gradually—wear them for just an hour or two a day and increase the duration over time.
Strengthening Muscles and Ligaments:
Barefoot shoes allow full freedom of movement for your feet, which may cause slight discomfort initially. However, this process strengthens your feet over time.
Personal Adaptation:
If you have any existing medical conditions or pain, it’s advisable to consult a specialist before transitioning to these shoes.
This way, you can enjoy a healthy and enjoyable Barefoot experience while maintaining comfort and safety!
