Quick lace the STRAND ATR and you are ready for the ultimate barefoot trail shoe experience!
Barefoot Is Better
Modern footwear is bad for feet. Almost all conventional shoes are too cramped, too thick, too cushioned and/or too elevated in the heel. Most dress shoes are uncomfortable to wear for extended periods of time. In the name of “cushioning” and “support” even athleisure shoes can encourage the primary structural components of the feet (small bones, cartilage and tendons) to become misshapen and many of the muscles of the feet (including the arch) to atrophy. The effects can range from minor foot pain to bunions, Achilles’ tendon tightening, plantar fasciitis, lower back pain and much more. Flip-flops don’t help at all. Popular minimalist footwear can help alleviate some of these mechanical issues, but the products offered are typically very unappealing in their styles, certainly when it comes to more formal and/or athleisure dress.
