Our addiction to wearing shoes has been linked to conditions ranging
from foot fungus and bacteria to bunions and fallen arches. Ill-fitting
and high-heeled shoes cause damage to the knees and spine, and
continuous wearing of any kind of shoes builds up these problems. Daniel
Howell describes the benefits of a simple alternative: going barefoot.
The barefoot lifestyle corrects misalignments and increases foot
strength and flexibility, and it is practiced in many other countries.
In a reader-friendly, accessible style, this practical book explains the
health advantages of going barefoot, provides tips for increasing
barefoot time, and encourages everyone to experience the health benefits
and the natural, vital pleasure of a barefoot connection with the earth.
