Is Barefoot expensive? you will see that Yes

They always tell me:

"Barefoot shoes are insanely expensive."

I've heard it more times than "Put your shoes on, or you'll catch a cold."

And I always respond the same way: "They cost the same as a conventional shoe of the same quality... but without the bonus of bunions."

Think about it.

A leather shoe, well-made, with premium materials and a refined design, easily costs €100.

And if it's barefoot, with the same quality standards, it costs the same.

In other words, a well-made shoe costs the same whether it's barefoot or not.

The difference lies in what they do to your feet.

A conventional shoe:

• Squeezes your toes like churros at a fair.

• Prevents you from feeling the ground, so you walk through life like a zombie.

• Is rigid, because obviously, why would you want to move your feet?

• Ruins your posture because your body tries to compensate for the torture you're wearing.

And then there's barefoot footwear, which does exactly the opposite.

But wait, here's the best part.

If Loewe released a wide-toe shoe, what would you think?

Well, that rich people also have toes, and their feet hurt too.

And now, wide and comfortable is suddenly fashionable.

Of course, until you see the price.

A whopping €1,100 for a shoe that isn’t even truly barefoot.

Expensive?

Of course, if you think of barefoot à la Loewe, expensive is an understatement.

But if you come to the real world, barefoot is for all budgets.

Here are several options without having to pawn your car.

If you want to feel freedom in your feet without taking out a mortgage, here are real and affordable options:

• Mustang Free Aria, for less than €50. Perfect for getting started without hurting your wallet.

• Coqueflex Essential, for under €85. Clean design, flexible, and well-made.

• Vivobarefoot Geo Court III, for €155. Premium barefoot shoes with an impeccable aesthetic.

So much so that it's the model Queen Letizia wore.

Different prices, different finishes. But all genuinely barefoot.
