Time to unleash those toes after a long winter of hibernation in warm fluffy socks! If you\u2019re working on your alignment<\/a> and trying barefoot shoes, what are the best summer barefoot shoes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flip-flops are not the best and neither are wedges. It’s because flip flops make you grip with your toes. Which (bizarre I know) is not great for your posture or your pelvic floor. High heels force your body bio-mechanics out of whack, and that affects your core, a diastasis and your pelvic floor too. It doesn’t mean you should never wear these shoes, just make sure you give you feet a break n some of the suggestions below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve put together our favourite barefoot shoe styles for [Summer 2017], to inspire you. If you aren\u2019t ready to take the leap into a full barefoot shoe, check out our transitional shoe board<\/a> over on Pinterest for shoespiration with minimal and wider toe boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
