Minimalist involves running in light, flexible footwear with no cushion or a raised heel, to allow the foot to move naturally, restore strength and proprioception, and to improve foot strike.
The Vivobarefoot One is a completely flat, super thin barefoot running shoe perfect for obstacle course races as well as running on asphalt, concrete, gravel, mud and snow!
Designed for hot weather, the Vivobarefoot Ultra is not only a water sports specific shoe, its punture-resistant, extremely comfortable zero-drop sole is beyond perfect for running longer distances on harsh or smooth roads as well as debris heavy trails.
Minimalist running shoes prevent injury by encouraging mechanical engagements, such as increased arch mobility and compression, which makes the foot better at holding your stride mechanics more stable and prevents increases in impacts from spreading out onto the rest of the leg!
Minimalist running shoes and running barefoot delivers a natural stimulus for enhanced neuromuscular and reflexive responses in the knee-joint that result in a faster acquisition of more functional mechanics that are not only safer on the knees, but reduces energy costs!
Barefoot running switches on a range of nerve, reflexive and mechanical responses that prevent underfoot pressure from rising to damaging levels which reduces the risk of severe foot injuries vs thickly cushioned running shoes.
