Barefoot
Way of Strength actively encourages barefoot athletics. We rigidly enforce barefoot or at least a minimalist shoes (Vibram Five-Fingers, Converse all –stars) in our classes and sessions. Why?
Keeps your back safe….makes you stronger…reduces stress….it forces/allows your body to move naturally…you have more energy…and its fun!
Vibram Five-Fingers are quickly becoming near everyday wear for the Way of Strength staff. For research and posts about barefoot living you can check Dustin’s Blog.
From the Vibrams Five-Fingers site:
“When you go barefoot, your movements become the movements of a child—playful and sensitive, yet purposeful and confident. You experience the unbound joy of stepping, hopping, and running across any surface on earth, simply to get from here to there.
Vibram FiveFingers® allow you to relive that sensation. Unlike conventional shoes that insulate you from your surroundings, FiveFingers footwear deepens your connection to the earth and your surroundings. FiveFingers enhance your sense of touch and feel, while improving foot strength, balance, agility, and range of motion. Because wearing Vibram FiveFingers is so close to going barefoot, you’ll enjoy the health and performance benefits of barefooting without some of the risks.”
