“Barefoot 2025” is a global movement to promote the benefits of going barefoot and to encourage people to spend more time without shoes. The movement was founded in 2005 by a group of podiatrists and other healthcare professionals who were concerned about the negative effects of wearing shoes on foot health.
There is a growing body of research that supports the benefits of going barefoot. Studies have shown that barefoot walking can help to strengthen the muscles in the feet and ankles, improve balance and coordination, and reduce pain and inflammation. Barefoot walking can also help to improve sleep, reduce stress, and boost the immune system.
