WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN BUYING MINIMAL SHOES

When looking for a shoe made to protect the skin of the feet without compromising function and strength, here are the guidelines:

1. Wide toe box - to allow for proper splay and function on the toes.

2. Flexible midsole - to allow rotation in the midfoot for shock absorption and push off.

3. Zero heel to toe drop - to allow for proper hip alignment and correct heel strike.

4. Minimal sole cushion - to allow you to feel the floor for correct fascia and muscle activation.
