book an appointment

Going barefoot means absolute freedom for many people and is the most natural way of getting around. In everyday life, however, there are numerous reasons to wear shoes - first and foremost, of course, to protect your feet on the go or at work.

Barefoot shoes combine the need for light-heartedness and safety. They are characterized by their special shape, low weight and extra-thin, flexible soles. The latter protect the feet from sharp objects and dirt, but still allow more intensive contact with the ground. Barefoot shoe wearers feel more of the ground they are walking on and benefit from a more natural rolling behavior.



What makes a shoe a barefoot shoe?

Run differently than conventional shoes barefoot shoes not pointed at the front. Thanks to the wider front section, they offer more space and freedom of movement for the toes. In addition, they have no drop (i.e. no height difference), i.e. ball and heel are on the same level. The shoes generally have no heels and no footbed.


What are the advantages of barefoot shoes?

Due to their shape, which is based on the anatomy of healthy feet, barefoot shoes allow a very natural walking feeling. They don't constrict your feet. Carrying supports a harmonious walking movement. These shoes are much more demanding on the muscles than sturdy shoes with strong cushioning. In barefoot shoes, the feet are actively in motion, while in normal shoes they are only passively stressed.


Are barefoot shoes healthy?

In addition to training the foot and leg muscles, wearing barefoot shoes also promotes balance and stimulates blood circulation. The shifting of weight from the heel to the forefoot is easy on joints and bones and contributes to an advantageous posture. Improved sensorimotor functions (interaction between the nervous system and muscles) is another positive result of running in these special shoes, which are becoming increasingly popular with health-conscious people in Hennef (Sieg).

Significant foot deformities can affect your options and the positive effects of barefoot shoes. If you wear insoles, they can still be a comfortable alternative to traditional shoes. If necessary, ask an orthopedist in the Hennef (Sieg) region for advice or get detailed information from Miss Barfuss. Please bring insoles to test.


What should be considered when changing from normal shoes to barefoot shoes?

Walking in barefoot shoes is fundamentally different from walking in normal shoes. So getting used to it will take some time. You should literally take it step by step. One hour a day is enough to start with, gradually you can increase the wearing time according to your personal preferences. The unusual strain can initially lead to slight muscle soreness. The gradual transition from heel walk to ball walk is individual for everyone. Shoes with slightly thicker soles are recommended for beginners.

Good children's shoes for healthy children's feet


Choosing the right shoe is crucial for children to grow up with healthy feet. Baby and children's feet should not be constricted by socks or shoes that are too short or too tight. Even if the little ones take their first steps, you should still do without shoes. This gives you full freedom of movement and strengthens your leg and foot muscles. Incorrectly selected children's shoes lead to unnatural walking behavior and malpositions in adulthood. Since I was having difficulties finding healthy and sustainable children's shoes for my son at the time, I founded Fräulein Barfuss and focused on children's shoes and children's shoes.
