Ever since I can remember I have loved being barefoot. Stripping my shoes off, putting my feet on the ground and running and playing has always been a rather nourishing and enjoyable experience whether on a beach, grass or even hardwood floor. But most of my life I have lived in a shod world, surrounded by shoes, and was taught to believe that I needed to wear shoes in most situations for protection and societal normalcies. Whether it be in stores, walking from place to place, or on trails, I was always told that I needed some protection on my feet. But overtime something shifted within me, a voice beckoning me to take off my shoes. It wasn't until I started learning about how incredible the foot was that I found myself wanting to be barefoot more and more, even kicking off my hiking boots to hike, and eventually start to run, barefoot on trails of all terrain. I even spent nearly a year training for and completing my first marathon barefoot in the mountains in Colorado. Since then I have come to see the wonderful things that make the foot so special and how when we shove our incredibly capable feet in shoes just how much we are closed off from the wonderful places they can take us. Feet are designed to move freely, touching the earth, speaking with the ground, but most of us have kept them "safe" and "protected" in a shoe, cutting off most of the natural functioning of the foot. But when we train our foot to come back out, awaken our soles, place our feet on the ground, slowly we begin to remember the great connection we have to the earth, and how wonderfully diverse and dynamic our feet are. When free from a shoe they are especially good at communicating information to the rest of our body about how we should walk and move as they ground us into the earth. So I say, free the foot! I wrote this book to share all that I have come to learn about the wonderful world of feet. Whether you want to learn about going barefoot full time, are interested in barefoot running, or simply want to develop a better relationship with your feet, this book was written to speak directly to your sole.
