Leading this change in South Africa is SOL Footwear , the official distributor of b arestep south africa , a brand that’s redefining how people walk, run, and connect with the ground beneath them. Barefoot shoes ar e more than a passing trend — they’re a return to how humans were meant to move. Barestep’s minimalist range is designed to give you the perfect balance of comfort, functionality, and natural movement — a combination that supports both performance and ever yday living. What Makes Barefoot Shoes So Revolutionary? For many years, our feet have been habituated by traditional shoes with cushioned soles, arch supports, and thick soles. While this 'comfort' has a very short period of use, they all restrict natur al movements and with time can weaken the feet and leg muscles. Here is how barefoot shoes compare: • Zero - Drop Sole: There is no heel elevation, therefore your heel and toes are level to the ground. This promotes natural alignment and posture. • Wide Toe Box: Barestep shoes allow your toes to spread naturally unlike conventional narrow shoes to help with stability and foot deformity.
