Barefoot vs normal footwear. What is best for training?

If you haven’t trained without shoes I highly recommend you do that.

Having our feet locked up not only affects our body temperature but changes the centre of balance in the body.

Having shoes during a training session also makes your muscles get a bit weak, since most of the balancing is done by your shoes and not your muscles.

And yes there is also a hybrid version of being barefoot. There are many footwear brands that say that you can have the barefoot experience with very minimalistic footwear.

I personally tested a few of them and they are good but, a bit weird.

They are better for sure than a super rigid shoe but only trying to really know the feel.

So next time you see a wild animal, notice that they don’t have shoes.

Footwear is another marketing gimmick that we all are addicted to.
