Barefoot shoes don't work

As the title says, barefoot shoes are not suitable if you have Morton's Neuroma, metatasalgia or a callus in that area.

Let me explain.

When you have been wearing narrow shoes for several years and with a heel, even if it is only 1 cm (surely this is not considered a heel and it is).

The twinges, pains and all the discomfort caused by those shoes are not going to disappear overnight because you change your shoes.

20 years of captivity will not be cured just because you take an afternoon stroll through a green meadow.

Nor will the abnormal wear you cause to your shoes in that area disappear. Take a look at the photo.



And although the simple fact of wearing minimalist shoes is already an improvement, it is a slow one.

Over the years your feet have become deformed and you need the best ally to recover them: Patience.

Patience and 5 minutes of dedication if you want faster results.

The time it takes you to drink a coffee (in fact you can do it while you are drinking one) can be used to:

• Make circular rotations with your feet in both directions.
• Spread and close your toes like a hand fan.
• Resting the foot on the ground feeling the support of the big toe (the motor of the foot)
• Walking barefoot or with minimalist shoes on uneven surfaces.
• Wearing the Correct toes while walking
• And a long etcetera if you are interested in exercises for your feet.

If you do, the wear and tear on your shoes will go from the picture above to this one. Image that New Zealand podiatrist Andy Bryan posted a few days ago on his instagram:

As always the decision is yours.

You can either spend your whole life enduring pain.

Or change and give your feet a second chance.

If this is your case, there are minimalist shoes for you to make the change.

Like the Lems Primal Zen.

With them, you will have enough space so that your toes don't feel squeezed.

And if your toes can move, you only have to balance the pressure distribution of your feet, so that your metatasalgia or Morton's neuroma improves.


Health starts with your feet.
