Why are not all "minimalist" shoes barefoot?Updated 7 days ago
Today, many brands use terms such as “natural”, “minimalist”, or even “barefoot” without any scientific validation. However, a shoe with a thick sole, internal reinforcements, or low flexibility may not respect the natural movement of the foot, even if it looks minimal from the outside.
UMANA validation makes it possible to distinguish between shoes that merely look barefoot and those that truly are.
