Why You Should Train Barefoot

Sensory Feedback

Your feet have thousands of nerve endings. Wearing cushioned shoes blunts this feedback. Barefoot training improves balance and proprioception.

The Foundation

A collapsed arch leads to a caved-in knee, which leads to weak hips. Strong feet create a stable base for heavy lifts. It changes the mechanics of your squat instantly.

Ankle Mobility

Many 'mobility issues' are just stiff shoes. Let your ankle move through its full range.

Gym Rules

If your gym forbids it, wear 'barefoot' style shoes or just socks (if the floor isn't slippery). Just get out of the air-cushioned basketball sneakers.
