How to start the transition to barefoot shoes?

1. Start slowly: 

Your muscles and ligaments may have been weakened by prolonged use of conventional shoes and will therefore require a gradual adaptation to minimalist shoes. To make this change pleasant and safe we advise you:

• Walk barefoot as often as possible.
• Gradually integrate Libertas Barefoot into your daily routine.
• Perform the following exercises for your feet:

2. Listen to your body

You may feel stiffness in your feet or legs (such as calves or foot flexors). This is normal, but should not hurt. If you feel pain, slow down a little and back up.

3. Mix with conventional footwear if you need to.

During the first weeks or months you can alternate barefoot with your usual shoes. The important thing is that the foot recovers mobility and strength.

4. Be patient

The process can take weeks or even months, depending on the individual. It is a natural adaptation, and the more you respect your rhythm, the better the result will be.
