Going barefoot as a child is the way that you discover and conquer the world without the constraint of shoes. Although it isn’t always possible to be barefoot FiveFingers give the same sensations as going barefoot but with the protection of shoes, this allows the feet to develop naturally without being harmed by debris on the ground.
FiveFingers won the Health Innovation of the Year award in 2007 and after earning themselves an army of converts they have now introduced Children’s shoes to their expanding collection so the whole family can experience going barefoot!
FiveFingers allow the feet connect with the earth and surroundings in a way that you cannot do in regular shoes. It gives children’s feet the freedom to move naturally which stimulates the muscles in the feet to improve the range of motion.
FiveFingers offer more protection when running and playing while activating more muscles than standard shoes to strengthen the feet and legs. They also offer a barefooting experience that is statistically no different than wearing nothing at all!
Technology Explained >>>
Technology Explained
The sensory feedback from the feet is huge and the development of the feedback is so important that it is often used to assess a child’s development. Putting shoes on a child deprives this sensory feedback but FiveFingers support this communication and allows the foot to connect with the ground.
The term orthopaedic is often associated with back problems, surgery and experts, however in reality, “Ortho” means straight and “Paedic” means child. If you look at a newborn’s feet they are exceptionally straight but even after 3 months of wearing shoes they can begin to curve into a “shoe” shape.
FiveFingers fit to the foot like a second skin so they do not put any pressure on them which can lead to deformities. For optimal weight transfer through the foot the midline of the big toe should be in line with the middle of the heel bone. Research on cultures where shoes aren’t worn show that children within these societies tend to have better arch development and stronger feet as they are allowed to develop in their own time.
Unlike regular shoes, FiveFingers deepen the connection to your surroundings and enhance your sense of touch and feel which is essential for children to learn. Alongside improving foot strength, FiveFingers also improve balance, agility and the range of motion.
FiveFingers allow the foot to function as nature intended therefore supporting the natural development to prevent future problems.
