Foot Shaped Shoes - Five Finger and Closed

Barefoot shoes have a super feature - being foot shaped. Now you would assume that something designed to cover the feet will take into account the anatomy of the human foot, but most modern shoes totally miss the point. 

Somehow, fashion has taken lead and function has to compromise. 

Barefoot shoes are for people who want to build on their function once again without compromising on fashion as well. 

Our feet are not symmetrical by design. The inside of out feet are usually longer and the pinky side of our feet usually slightly shorter. Barefoot shoes take into consideration this difference and are straighter and not tapered like other modern shoes.

This prevents problems such as bunions, and flat feet.

Now if you’ve researched your barefoot shoes - there’s two kinds of patterns - five finger shoes and also closed barefoot shoes. 

The function remains the same. More space for your feet, a natural gait cycle and free toes.

Five finger shoes only allow your toes to be used independently as well. 

They may look a little weird initially, but the functional aspect really changes the game.

At Zen Barefoot, we are making closed barefoot shoes. Ones that you won’t have to shy away from when meeting friends, going out for walks, or even attending events.

We want to make barefoot shoes accessible to everyone. 

Give them a try and you will see how foot shaped shoes help you regain your natural flow and truly use your feet.
