Vivo Barefoot
Why Vivo Barefoot Shoes?
By walking and running barefoot we allow our body to move how it was initially designed. By wearing shoes, however, we change the natural way we walk and run which can lead to sprains, shin splints, and other common foot injuries. What’s nice about the Vivo Barefoot shoes is that they are causal barefoot shoes. So if you just want something to match your outfit or something wear to work these shoes will work perfectly. This way you don’t have to give up the barefoot lifestyle.
Dr. William Rossi in a 1999 article in Podiatry Management said it best with regards to going barefoot :
It took 4 million years to develop our unique human foot and our consequent distinctive form of walk, a remarkable feat of bioengineering. Yet, in only a few thousand years, and with one carelessly designed instrument, our shoes, we have warped the pure anatomical form of human walk, obstructing its engineering efficiency, afflicting it with strains and stresses and denying it its natural grace of form and ease of movement head to foot.
Vivo Barefoot shoes have one thing that many casual or dress shoes don’t have…the ability to let your foot feel connected to the surfaces that you walk on. Why is this important? It’s not really that it’s important, but as New York Magazine writer, Adam Sternbergh, found out after walking in Vivo Barefoot shoes for a while that
“…I found I really liked them, precisely because you can feel the ground you can tell if you’re walking on cobblestones, asphalt, a manhole, or a subway grate. (Striding along that nubby yellow warning strip on the subway platform feels like a foot massage.) Of course, it’s not often that you walk around New York, see something on the ground, and think, I wish I could feel that with my foot. But this kind of walking is a revelation. Not only does it change your step, but it changes your perceptions. As you stroll, your perception stops being so horizontal i.e., confined more or less to eye level and starts feeling vertical or, better yet, 360 degrees. You have a new sense of what’s all around you, including underneath.
