Barefoot Riding Boots

Barefoot boots combine the benefits of going barefoot with the comfort of shoes. They have thin soles for natural movement and better foot function. These boots provide a sensory experience and promote balance and strength in your feet. Transitioning into them requires patience, but they offer a unique footwear option for those seeking a more natural walking experience.

In winter, I find barefoot shoes and boots particularly important, as are feet are otherwise deprived of the important ground feel and natural walking experience. Typically, conventional boots have thick sole that does not allow for any natural movement. Boots are particularly similar to casts or as others like to refer to them as foot coffins. The lack of ankle movement and foot movement overall for months can have serious impact on your whole body.

There are plenty of different styles and colours to chose from, so here I will introduce some of the tall / riding style boots that your feet will enjoy!
