I'm not sure why RUclips is suddenly showing me all these barefoot videos but I've been surprised to hear how much difficulty people generally seem to have with transitioning! I've been barefoot for about a year now and I just full sent it one day. I bought a pair of Vivobarefoots and began wearing them exclusively the moment I got them. I quickly bought a pair of running shoes as well, and I do all my running/hiking in barefoots. I haven't worn any of my old "normal" shoes since, and I've never had a single problem with the transition, no pain or difficulty or anything, so I'm genuinely surprised to see these videos and read all the comments sharing "barefoot transition horror stories."
I did spend a lot of time barefoot as a kid-- probably most of my childhood when I wasn't in school, I was not wearing shoes. I have never worn shoes in the house, so all of my home time has always been barefoot as well. And for the past year I have eaten a carnivore diet, which has eliminated inflammation, loosened muscle tightness and strengthened my entire body.. I wonder if that has anything to do with it, too.
Either way, I'm finding it very interesting that this journey takes years for some people! It didn't take any time at all for me, I just swapped one day and that was that. Thanks for sharing your story, I learned something today!
I feel the same way, but I've always been a toe-runner even with "regular" jogging shoes and I always wore skating shoes which are flatter and less pointy so I guess I didn't come too far in shaping my feet the wrong way to begin with
I'm 55yo and slowly making the transition to barefoot shoes. Thanks for this, it's a great help. I'm always barefoot indoors and feel like this has been a big plus with the transition. I feel good so far, taking it easy, and am confident that I'll integrate barefoot shoes completely at some point.
Who the heck gives this video a thumbs down??!! Thanks for taking the trouble to make this.
You're so kind thank you. You know, I often wonder that question also 😂
I made the transition too. I went too fast, thinking “I’m different and will adjust quickly.” No. Doesn’t work that way, no matter your level of positive thinking. Thankfully I held onto my goal through my recovery and listened to advice as presented here (though from earlier sources).
The benefits of barefoot shoes are incalculable for me. It’s worth the effort and time it takes.
But listen to what she says and listen to your body along the way. Your patience and efforts will be rewarded.
I wish I’d come across this video two years ago! I decided to give barefoot shoes a try and immediately ditched my old trainers. I developed bad plantar fasciitis and very tight calves. I went back to regular shoes and sprained my ankle playing my first soccer game with them and have been dealing with the aftermath ever since. I’ve been working on exercises to regain my foot and ankle strength and hope to eventually re-transition to barefoot shoes!
Got my first pair of Vivobarefoot this week, went out for a few hours in them last night, goodness!!! My feet feel everything today! I never realised we can engage our feet so much. And this is from someone who is barefoot at home all the time. This is going to be INTERESTING.
Such an inspiration! I am only on my 3rd day of transitioning to a medium barefoot shoe. I was very surprised by all kinds of changes and awakenings that are causing discomfort and mild pain. I am in my 60s and not many people share their difficult journey like you have. Thank-you I am sure your video gave many people the encouragement they needed! 🥰
Thanks for the lovely comment Scott and as happy barefoot transitions to you 👣
Hi, very interested in what shoes are medium barefoot?
I have a pair of Altra’s that I like a lot. 4mm.
Any other brands you suggest?
And any brands that have regular shoes / not an athletic shoe?
Maybe it's because I never wore shoes with much of a heel and started walking completely barefoot through the forest before buying my first pair of barefoot shoes, but switching to barefoot shoes was no problem at all for me, i just put them on and started walking with them. It's interesting for me to hear that it can take years to switch, I imagine your feet must have been already very specialized to walking in fashion shoes.
It sounds like you were totally primed for barefoot - what a dream.
Yes, fashion shoes, high heels most of my adult life.
Not anymore.
Thanks for commenting 👊
@@LauraTryUK Thanks for answering! To be frank, you are about a hundred times fitter than I am, and I imagine if I had done long distance runs or hikes like you do I would have had huge problems.
Thank you for awesome words in this video. I started walking around the house without shoes. It's been 3 months and I started walking outside without shoes. Today I successfully own my first pair of barefoot and I'm so happy :D
lor lor you give everyone from a normal perspective good info and the pit falls to look out for , thanks
I did the toe rubber band exercises two days ago and overdid it. My poor left arch is achy.
Enjoying your content.

I began transitioning to minimalist shoes a few months ago. I had posterior tibial tendonitis and was put in a boot for two weeks, but I could not get out of the boot without excruciating pain. What do do? Started foot exercises 2x a day and learned how to tape my feet with kinesiology tape just to be able to get out of that boot. After a year of doing this, I bought a pair of Altra shoes, but I put my custom orthotic in these shoes as I continue to build up strength and flexibility in my feet. My goal is to go completely minimal. My feet were ridiculously weak, but the podiatrist's recommendations made my feet worse. Physician, heal thyself!
One of the few real videos on barefoot shoes. Thank you.
thanks so much for this! Not only packed full of useful info but a really well recorded video, top stuff.
I find for gym work barefoot shoes are awesome, using a curve runner is also a great way to start running in barefoot shoes. Foot massage is key to stretch the muscles and ligaments in the foot. Nice video 👍
I wear vivo barefoot because I couldn't find any decent footwear with a wide toe box. I've walked around the house and garden barefooted for years much to the chagrin of my parents /partner I only experienced plantar fasciitis once caused through tight fitting shoes. Thanks for sharing this vlog.
Thank you. I appreciate these videos. I just replaced my running shoes and went moderately less heel drop and a bit more room in the toebox. Appreciate everyone sharing their wisdom.
I was thrilled when I saw you had a transitioning video. Thanks for the helpful tips!
I was a barefoot hippy in the 1970s and always go bare indoors and in my garden (extra fun in the snow) When I heard about zero sandals I had to try them and it was love at first try. No need for transition. I even ran in them. Now I run more seriously I went for Altra shoes. Zero drop and generous toe box but with a bit of cushion for the heel. I had to go for a men’s size to get the right fit though. Worth trying if you find them a bit tight over the arch. Definitely need to try them all on to find the best ones for your foot shape.
Great tips, especially taking your time transitioning, I liked the 3mm a year reduction, you obviously had a good plan Laura 👍🏃
Hey, thanks for your comment!
This plan seemed to work well for me as I have quite sensitive Achilles and calves and know what I'm like... I can be impatient 🤪
I also just checked out your channel - nice work on the regular vids! 💪🏼👊🏼
Excellent tips
i got Merrell vapor glove 3 for about 2 months and i love them. thinking about toe stretchers though, not sure which to get. plus remember that good socks are also helpful
The transition at 2:18 🔥👍
The best video on transition ❤ thanks
Great tips, thanks for sharing.
Excellent video, Laura. Thanks and congratulations. Regards from Salamanca, SPAIN.
Great vid! That transition out of the computer screen was FIRE!
Great video! Definitely want to learn more from you
I have been running with barefoot shoes a couple years now and I really like it. The only issue i still have is that my big toe is still a bit crooked inwards and the progress seems to go very slow by itself (if there is any progress at all, hard to tell). I have cheap toe spacers, but they seem to me made for tiny women's feet so they likely don't do anything. I have considered buying a better pair of spacers that fit my large feet, but your rubber band trick seemed clever too so might try that first!
I think what needs to be mentioned is measuring the size, width and lenght of the foot as well as being mindful of the natural shape of the toes and selecting shoes based on these parameters. I feel that online barefoot shops (at least those where I have been shopping) have started to include these size parameters into the description of their products. That is massive help in selecting the right fitting pair, since our feet vary so much it can take time to find a good match as there should be some additional space available for the toes to be able to strech into the different directions.
Also for excercising, there are few nice products in the last years which people can have in home. For instance I have a rug which emulates the look and feel of tree roots, it is from a small brand called Rootyrug. Very cool, my small son loves it too. 👣
Rootyrug?! That sounds awesome! I’m gonna look into that. I am in the process of making something like that. You use a boot tray and fill it with small round-ish river rocks. I plan on putting it in front of my kitchen sink and standing there barefoot while I do dishes.
I've wear Vivo trainers, five fingers, and Xero DIYs. During the transition, when I over did it, the insides of my knees would hurt, i guess where my natural arch strength was lacking. I would hobble around in cushy crocs and my old cushy running shoes, it supported my arch until it could recover.
I experience that exact issue right now actually, except I also have Achilles's tendonitis.
Freet shoes are also really great shoes and not that expensive and have durable soles. Thanks for the great video!
Thanks for the great information! ❤️
You're so welcome, thank you 🙏🏼
I started using barefoot shoes a couple of months ago. Besides of my yoga practice (or thanks to) I got to notice that my body was getting tighter and tighter. I was also noticing that my body was getting out of balance more often (in the sense of some areas getting tight, creating uncomforting or hurting feelings). In any case yoga was helping a lot. One day, last week, I decided that was a good moment to make the first small run. I was aware that my achilleas tendon was a bit tight and probably my back leg area muscles were too. The result was I rupture of fibers in the soleus. I would be happy to understand to to transit the adaptation to this kind of shoes and which physical changes they create, because I am feeling a lot of them, but I cannot really transit and be aware of them. And I would also like to know how this adaptation would differ from one person to another (one being a trained person with good body condition, and other with a sedentary lifestyle). How each of them should face such adaptation? Thanks for the help!
There's really not much you can do to transition into going barefoot, it's going to hurt regardless of how much you prep or exercise. The only way to do it is to power through it, don't push yourself though, but know that while pain is inevitable, it's infinitely worth it.
Nicely done video.
Thanks so much Teddy, I am pleased you liked it.
Good info
This should be easy I've been bare foot my whole life. I'd always get screamed at, now I feel vindicated with the earthing movement.
I’m Mexican and being barefoot is literally like breaking the law I wonder where the idea of being barefoot causes one to be sick come from?
@@doejohn6197 Rusty nail on the floor giving you tetanus, stepping on polluted puddles giving you parasites and or gangreen infection, etc. Being outside barefoot in this cursed, polluted land is asking to accidentally catch something. I'm sure that led to the creation of shoes in the first place. That said, barefoot shoes are still shoes and solves most of those problems. The more you know 🌈
Hello! I recently been wearing my Vivo for about two weeks and decided to run a mile in them yesterday. My calves and ankles are so sore and I’m just stumbling upon this video! How long did it take you to get out of the soreness you showed in the video?
My barefoot sandals are brilliant. But with no cushioning at all, it hurt to run in them.
Your video has inspired me to keep going with it.
I've never tried running in sandals - that sounds hardcore.
All the best with the transition.
5:29 5:29 5:29 Never have seen nor thought of the big toes rubberband exercise routine... thanks for something new @ 72.5 yrs old 👣 try brft racewalking!
Honestly I have zero clue how I ended up here but here I am. Intrigued. I am never barefoot I don't ever wear heels I live in boots and trainers or my birkenstocks. However maybe this is what I'm missing. My feet hurt my body hurts to be honest. I'm thinking I need to care for my feet better thanks for this! Going to go look at barefoot shoes.
Thanks for the good videos on this subject.
I went with barefoot shoes two months ago and can't go back. The only thing stopping me from being exclusively barefoot shoes are my cycling shoes. Unfortunately I have been unable to find any "barefoot" (IE: Wide toe box) cycling shoes...
Hey John, you're welcome. Thank you for commenting.
I am in a similar position with cycling shoes also 🤔
I am considering going up a size for some extra room but do not think that will give enough room for my toes.
Very useful content! Woot woot! Go girl!
Hey Kunal, thanks so much!
How are you finding the MD course?
@@LauraTryUK Its ok but not my main youtube..my ain youtube course is vra. chekc your fb messages lol
sent you a private message on fb
Will do!
so pretty
Thank you for this . I need to improve my balance .there won’t be any running I’m afraid .
Good information. Where do I find the measurement of how many millimeters I'm currently wearing? Or how do I measure? I have a fallen arch (I'm in my sixties and was heavy for a couple of decades), so I'm thinking of approaching a transition with much caution.
Hi. Just found your channel and it looks great. I bought a pair of Vivo Barefoot shoes a couple of year's back but for various reasons have hardly used them. Fancied the idea for trail walks etc. What I'm not clear about is whether it's wise to only use barefoot shoes occasionally or should it really be one or the other (after a gradual transition). In short will using barefoot sometimes but not other times be bad for my feet and muscles? I can't find much info on this when I try to research it.
Hey David, a great question. A gradual transition (wearing both barefoot and your normal shoes) would be a great way to move over the total barefoot.
Wear barefoot for a few kms/hours of standing around, then switch, You will know if you have done too much barefoot - your body will tell you.
All the best with your transition 👣

Hi Laura, curious to know if you have found any difference in pelvic health after wearing barefoot shoes ?
When talking about going slow, it might help to add how much excersise you do. Feeling bad after 78 miles in a rather new types of shoes seems normal. When it Comes to Running, I just run a bit under 6 km so I think my legs Will be able to take it 😄
Valid point but each person is different and I would hope that each individual would use their intuition to asses how their body is feeling.
I did my first run in Altra's yesterday without being advised to take it easy. In mile 3 I developed hip pain and have pulled my glutus medius. Do you think this could be from the transition ? Thanks
No matter how good the shoes are I get shin splints within 2km of running. Took me about 3 months to be able to run 8 to 10km in barefoot shoes. I am sold on the concept. I guess a male that is not used to high heels makes it easier.
do you have any recommendations for fixing Plantar Fasciits? everytime i'm barefoot too long my feet are in such pain for days.
A vivo discount code?? That's what I'm talking about. Subscribed! Cheers 😘😘
😂 This did make me chuckle. Thank you 🙏🏼
@@LauraTryUK just used the discount code on a pair of geo court ii's 😎😎
@@LauraTryUK thanks for the video. I have now subscribed. I now walk barefoot as much as possible. The whole barefoot thing is obvious when you think about it. Is the discount code still working. 🙏🏼
Just stumbled over your account and I have to say it's so informative and makes me want to learn more. I do have a question though: Can you recommend any running shoes for the times you reduced the cushioning of your shoes gradually? Wanted to buy a new pair of running shoes, so this information would be tremendously helpful! :) Thanks in advance!
If you have never used barefoot shoes, i would not recommend having only one pair running shoes. Personally during my transition when I planned to run a short distance I used my barefoot shoes while for longer distances i continued using my asics. If you need a new pair of long-distance shoes now I'd recommend a pair of Altras as they have a zero-drop heel but still quite a lot of cushioning and then also have a pair of "real" barefoot shoes for walks and short (very short in the beginning!) distance runs. When you are ready, progressively increase the distance with your barefoot shoes until you can skip you cushioned shoes completely.
@@Zenolijo Thank you for this in depth answer. I will check out the possibilities. Fingers crossed! :)
Watching this a day after going on a 2 mile hike with my new barefoot shoes. Ouch! Feet hurt! 😢
I have found out my current shoes are a 30 mm but I can’t figure out how to find shoes
I also have already wide feet so it makes my selections harder to start working on smaller millimeter soles
What do you do in winter? Are there warm wide boots? I'm working with a bunion now, which returned quickly. Sounds like this will be a journey.
What shoes have you used with the smaller and smaller base? all of them Vivo?
Hi Laura, great video as always! I have a question & I don't know if this is related to my problem. I suffer with serious shin splints even after walking vigorous or running after 5-7 minutes which is so not ideal. I have to do other exercises to compensate and keep fit. Any help would be welcomed seriously x
Hey Stewart, I am not qualified to give an answer. Perhaps try a running coach or physio?
I hope you get it sorted.
Can someone help please. I’ve been transitioning to Zero drop Altra Escalante running shoes by adding them into my regular 30 minute run (3 times a week)two additional minutes at a time each two weeks. I am currently doing 10 minutes in Altras and the remaining 20 in my old Asics. I’m starting to feel soreness and tightness in my lover calve. My question is if I should use forefoot/midfoot strike -which I recently adapted-with both of these shoes or should I only use forefoot with my new Altras and perhaps go back to my old semi heel strike while finishing my run in heeled Asics to give my calves a break?Thanks
I wonder how different they are then wearing Birkenstocks. I’ve been wearing those for years
I have a question - how long and how often do you do the rubber band stretch and doing the toe exercise with your hand that you showed in the video? I have "bunionettes" which is like a bunion but on the little toes side of the feet, and it is genetic. They are so bad now that the toe escapes from the plastic separaters so they don't work. I am going to try this and see if it helps.
Loving your vids, new subscriber here!
Hey Sarah, I do the toe exercises most days when standing at my desk. No set times or durations, just when I think of it. The rubber band and other stretches just when I think of them. I'd like to do them more but sometimes have other stuff to do also.
Just turned 20 recently and I’m trying to buy a pair of VivoBarefoot shoes (the Primus Knit 2 men’s) but they’re out of stock
Super helpful tips! I wore barefoot shoes last summer and I ended up in them all the time because they felt so comfy. But my feet started to ache and I got shooting pains! So I defo recommend the go slow recommendation. Great videos Laura, it is fab to see your channel grow :)
I hear ya! Snap! Those shooting pains are killer.
Thanks so much for your support, it's so nice 🙏🏼
@@LauraTryUK No worries! Great videos :)
Any tips on how to get so you can move your little toe independently of the others? I can move one from left to right, but I can’t move the other at all.
Do you have an idea for a pair of barefoot sandals for the transition ? I tought about xero z-trail but i think it is maybe still too much because I train to be capable to do 50 km walking atm. My classic sandalf died sunday and I bought my first barefoot shoes and I started to train at the gym sometimes barefoot (in general for the big first heavy exercise) and I try to be barefoot at home. But I think minimal shoes and sandals are too hard for me maybe ? I want to say for walking long time. Because I feel nothing special if I stay barefoot at home all the day or I can walk or run 1 km barefoot on road too. But walking during 2-3 hours barefoot if not the same (long time with pression on my foot and heel).
Where can i find the shoes with different sizes of sole for transitioning?? All i can find is zero drop...
Can u comment on how to walk in bearfoot or link some video thats u think is good
I have zero interest in running. I walk barefoot at home and outside shoes are Dunlop volleys. I'm struggling to see what I would need any transition time. Seems to me the transition is more for people who run, jog or walk long distances. Your thoughts on transition vs different lifestyles?
Good point what about us not too active folks ? Do we wear the barefoot shoes an hour a day or what?
@@doejohn6197 I bought a pair of Vivo Gobi 2. Where em at work. No issues. Got a pair that resembles aqua shoes. I wear those when I go shopping and at work when no-one his around. All good here. I wear socks with them.
Nice tips Laura. Thumbs up from a fellow creator 😅
Thanks Ethan 🙌🏼
Since last April, I've been wearing barefoot shoes. I've noticed that the gap between my biggest toe and second toe has widened more on my right foot compared to my left foot. Any thoughts on why this might be happening? Thanks!
I'd love to try these but work in a farm type area where the ground is mostly stones, nit soft round ones but sharp odd sized ones.. can you recommend anything? I'm always barefoot in the house.
Hey Janette, take a look at the Vivobarefoot Tracker Forest ESC boot - they gave a thicker sole and deep thread for muddy ground. I also find they are great for uneven, sharp surfaces.
The discount code isn't working :( - has this expired?
Hi LT, What make and model are your slippers please?
Hey Matt, I wear Vivobarefoot Ababa as my slippers. Not being made right now but available on the Revivo website 👍
What are barefoot shoes? Are those the ones with the tows?
I just walk can you transition slowly by walking barefoot shoes in little by little
Try the running technique POSE ( extra good for cadence between 180 - 270 ) or CHI ( extra good for cadence that are max 180 )
Both are very good for barefoot running.
Personal do I use POSE. it can bee used on ice, with heavy backpacks, even without shoes on asphalt without injuries or hurting if you get the technique right.
👍👍👍
You definitely gotta go slow and listen to your body. I'm about a month in after almost a decade of wearing pretty much only stability running shoes because I overpronate. I also sprained my left foot on my way to work back in 2016, worked that full shift and then the next 2 days before going to the hospital, and I never did anything to rehabilitate it so it's weaker than my right foot. This has become apparent in my transition. For the first couple weeks it was cool, I would just do like 20 minute walks around the neighborhood, but then I did a couple longer walks and the posterior tibial tendon in my left leg started hurting, so I'd have to take a day or two off of walking for it to stop hurting, and then I'd go out and it would hurt again. My right foot is pretty much fine, no issue there, everything that's come up has been on my left side, which makes sense. So, it's gonna be a while until that side has caught up. I should get toe spacers. My toes are decently straight and can spread out, thankfully, but I think the extra width would help make it easier to hold up my ankles. I have to completely change the way I walk so my ankles don't collapse anymore, which I'm sure my previously injured foot is not happy about. :P
Hi Laure
I’m a photographer and I carry a heavy load, which you will see on my channel. What’s your views on barefoot shoes and carrying heavy loads over rough terrain?
Hey Simon, if you are not used to barefoot style shoes then ease in slowly. Once adapted I think carrying loads over rough terrain is fine, but the transition could take years.
@@LauraTryUK thank you Laura
The walking technique should be the most important thing when using barefoot shoes or barefoot.. do not hit the ground with the heel first. When walking, hit the ground with the front forefoot first, which carries the impact. the heel is used for support and balance. it is weird at first, but this is how we are meant to walk. walking forefoot first also improves running performance greatly, as the brain does it automatically after few weeks or months.
I am 77. As children my generation were always bare foot, we ran and jumped without any problem. I am still walking bare foot, in winter I wear socks only. Still have a high instep and spread toes, no corns or bunions. Never heard of barefoot shoes. When I do have to wear shoes, socially, I wear thin bottom pumps.
How are your knees/ legs? I'm 20 and I practice MMA seriously, so mah knees/ legs always feel no bueno. Wanted to see what a switch to barefoot might do for em
@@ZeroFucksLeft I am a fit healthy person. Can and do still run. Start walking bare foot whenever you can, wear socks if you want to. Allow your body to adjust to the change in posture. Start short walks and increase until you can alternate. Nature designed us to be bare foot.
Our feet were meant/ created to be bare and that's why there are a number of sensors/nerve endings under our feet which connects from top to toe. When we walk on sand, gravel and tiny stones/pebbles,our entire body gets a stimulation through these sensors. Apart from that it allows your body to connect with the earth and absorb free Electrons from the earth's surface. When you consider the above aspects, there's no alternative for going barefoot. The effects mentioned above are scientifically proved facts and no shoe can come even closer to the effects of walking on naked feet.
Go barefoot always for good health and happy feet !!!!
well said 🙌🏼
Seven years! I'm 50 - I don't have seven years to transition :( Is really any way to adapt faster?
It is possible to transition faster. I went almost immediately from standard modern shoes to exclusively minimalist shoes.
You can search ‘Xero Shoes Born to Run 2’ here on RUclips to get some suggestions on how to transition.
Basically
1) listen to your body, pain usually means stop doing something.
2) You are at your most vulnerable at the beginning, it takes time and patience. Overworking your body is a good way revert progress made.
does anyone know any good barefoot shoes for cycling?
What sort of cycling?
I do mountain biking, using flat pedals with steel 'pins' which grip the soles of the shoes. I generally wear 5 10 Freeriders, but have brought a pair of Freet connect 2 (a 'barefoot' running shoe) to use on the bike.
I have only had the shoes 1 day, so it was just a short test ride, on the road about 1km, to see how the pins feel.
The shoes felt good, could feel the pins but wasn't painful or overly uncomfortable. They 'stuck' to the pedals nicely. I will lower the pins to 3mm, from 5 or 6mm, to see how that feels or if it changes the grip.
@@rangik7221 hi Rangi, thanks for the reply. I road bike, mountain and indoor cycle. For now I'm using a lightweight low cut hiking shoe wich has room in toe box. I'm using this for my indoor cycling and outdoor. I have been trying to find a clip in shoe that has the room and feel of a barefoot shoe.
@@nycbike73 that is going to be one hell of a search! I've only seen narrow clip shoes, I went to flat pedals because I couldn't get decent sized shoes, all way too narrow. Even the 5 10s feel narrow and I leave the lacing towards the toes really loose.
I think Shimano released a clip in sandal.
Good luck with your search. You could ask your favorite bike shoe manufacturer for a custom made shoe 😉
ps. I'm size us13 for reference
I’m scared haha
Are we talking about barefoot here or zero drop? You can get zero drop trainers with cushioned soles so thats not barefoot but is a more natural foot position.
She mentioned multiple times, “barefoot style” and “zero drop.”
it is a bit suspicious to me that the video isnt sponsored by vivo and although you provide a discount :/
Hey, there is no need to be suspicious. It mean what I said, it wasn't sponsored. I received no money for making it and wasn't asked. I make my videos because I want to.
10k Steps a Day, challenge.. heh just some ideas
LIKE IT!
I have got this on my list actually.....
Have you tried going barefoot without shoes?
I have. Most of the day in my house and when I am in my garden working out.
love your videos, but it would have been nice to hold up a shoe and explain it
for those of us (likely everyone) that has never seen one before. thanks.
so beautiful!
i want to marry a woman like you
