As I discovered in Goa last year, walking around barefoot seemed to fix my plantar fasciitis. So as well as running barefoot-style in minimalist running shoes (3 times a week for 2k currently), I thought it wouldn’t be a bad thing to try and spend as much time as possible walking around as nature intended.
Obviously it’s not really possible for me to do this at work, or is it?
Vivobarefoot who make my current running shoes, also make many other shoes too. Their “Ra Shoes” are a close to ordinary office shoes you can get and that is exactly what I got. What I didn’t think through is that as they have no heal, I would lose an inch from my height and thus my trousers would now be too long. I actually stood on them when trying my new shoes. So a little hemming work later and I’m now barefooting it around the office.
