Barefoot For Life

Hello Everyone:

I am Teiotsistokwahte, the owner of The Shoe Bus and active user of barefoot shoe brands such as Xero, Be Lenka, and Shapen shoes. I have been wearing barefoot shoes for the past two years and have chosen to never go back to wearing regular shoes. I chose barefoot shoes for many reasons. The first reason being is that I have a huge bump on my foot from an injury; I was training a young horse to pick up her hooves and she ended up stepping on my foot and fracturing it. Ever since the accident, I wake up with a foot that is asleep. That same foot also tends to get really inflamed when I have tight shoes on. That is when I decided to do some research on wider set shoes that also have the possibility of having enough room for my swollen feet. The second reason that I chose barefoot shoes is so that my feet become stronger and that my overall proprioception is on key. This is also the reason that I choose for my daughter to wear barefoot shoes since she was born. My daughter has the best balance in the world now because of the shoes I have put her in for her life.
