Barefoot Shoes Journey 🦶
I finally got used to barefoot shoes! At the beginning, everyone warned me to take it slow and ease into them, but that sounded way too overprotective. I did try to start slowly—meaning I walked a little less… (Obviously nowhere near as little as I should have 😅)
Very quickly I learned barefoot shoes are secret torture devices. Arch pain, bunion pain, nighttime agony, and mornings where I walked like The Little Mermaid trying to move on land. 🧜♀️
I nearly gave up, but they were expensive—so nope. I treated them like high heels instead:
short stylish office walks, then dramatic foot pain.
Then came the worst phase: my old shoes started hurting too, so it felt like I destroyed my feet completely. Pain going back, pain going forward
Fast forward 2 months:
Now I can walk 15–20k steps with no issues 🙌 Not a raving barefoot cult member yet,
but they’re pretty comfy now. I even bought toe-separated socks
Progress! 😎
