00:00Dr. Phil Hoffman's study, published way back in 1905, pointed out some significant differences between people who walked barefoot and those who wore shoes.
00:09Here are the main things Dr. Hoffman found.
00:12Barefooted individuals tend to have wider and more flexible feet compared to shoe-wearers.
00:17The arch of the foot is more developed and stronger in habitual barefoot individuals.
00:22Shoe-wearing individuals often have narrower feet and limited mobility in their toes and ankles.
00:27Early shoe-wearing may lead to foot deformities and altered gait patterns.
00:32Walking barefoot may improve foot strength, stability, and proprioception.
00:36Hoffman's study suggests that modern footwear design should prioritize the natural shape and function of the foot to promote foot health and prevent common foot problems associated with wearing shoes.
