Is this the END of hiking boots?

Hiking boots generally suck, you know it, I know it. It's time for a change. Switching to barefoot minimal footwear for everyday use will more than likely help you stay on the trail for longer and avoid injury - so why not wear them on the trail too?

There are a growing number of experts and researchers that believe that the foot already has everything it needs in terms of support, particularly around the ankle and I tend to agree with them.

Science has spoken! all the links to all of the research articles I found will be listed below so you can read the research and decide for yourself...which I encourage you to do!

DISCLAIMER
Don't start by barefoot running.
Start by integrating 5% of time footwear to barefoot/minimal walking... then build slowly from there. Aim for a 6-12 month transition to running. If you have questions about barefoot running connect with me below
