Minimalist and Barefoot Shoes

The practice of setting the clock back 60 minutes in winter and moving it forward in summer is common in most European countries and North America. Energy saving is the reason why this time change is made, but from a health perspective, the time change supposes an unexpected and sudden disruption in the sleep routine and activities to which our body is accustomed.

Despite the many benefits that minimalist footwear brings to our body, it may not all be advantages if the transition is not made correctly and gradually. The transition between conventional footwear and minimalist footwear must be done progressively and, like all drastic changes, entails a period of adaptation that, at first, may seem difficult.

Parkour is a sports practice that consists of overcoming obstacles in the environment using only the body itself. To place your feet within a millimeter margin of error, you need to be able to feel the ground and obstacles with your feet. In addition, it is essential that the footwear has the best possible grip, thus eliminating unnecessary risk factors.
