That's exactly what you want when retraining the foot to work. It's also demanding. If you're coming from a classic heavily-cushioned shoe, your calves and arches will let you know about it for the first few weeks. Start with short outings, twenty to thirty minutes, and increase gradually. Users already used to minimalism will find this the most direct model in the catalog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThis model or another\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want the same simplicity with a natural material and a bit more structure, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kso-eco\"\u003ethe KSO ECO\u003c\/a\u003e in hemp is the closest neighbor.
