No matter what workout you are doing, you want to get the maximum benefits. What shoes you wear can have an effect on your training. Supportive cushioned running shoes can cause our feet to weaken from lack of muscle activation. They can also put our bodies in an unnatural position which can lead to injuries. […]
With so many different running shoes on the market today, it is difficult to choose the right ones. But did you know that some of those shoes may be causing you injuries? Most running shoes are built with extra cushioning, arch support and a thick inflexible sole. These types of shoes promote a heel-strike which […]
It is estimated that you take over 10, 000 steps when you walk an 18-hole golf course (between 3 and 6 miles depending on the course and how good or bad your game is!) You want your shoes to give you stability and traction during your swing. But do you really need to wear those […]
Ahh! Summer is the time we love to kick off our shoes and feel the ground beneath our feet. We all look forward to soft grass, warm sand and jumping in puddles after a long winter. And although this is all fun to do in bare feet, there are times that you should and need […]
Most yogis practice in bare feet. This allows an awareness and connection to the ground. However, there are some people that could benefit from wearing shoes during their practice. Buy I am not talking any old athletic shoe. Those would be too clunky and cumbersome for yoga. I am talking about Leguano barefoot shoes. These […]

Covid-19 is causing many businesses to either shut down or change their approach. With the St. Jacob’s Market closing until further notice, Leguano Barefoot Shoes will now open an affiliate location in Toronto North. Leguano Toronto North will be opening in Richmond Hill, with all fittings being by appointment only. Of course, we will take […]
June 1st is National Barefoot Day. Everyone should kick off their shoes and enjoy the benefits of being barefoot. This year might be a little different because of social distancing but everyone can still find a way to celebrate this day. Walk in your yard and feel the grass between your toes. Pamper your feet […]
Our feet carry us everywhere. Foot discomfort and pain is a serious issue for many. We need to treat our feet with the respect they deserve. Barefoot shoes can help relieve and prevent common foot problems. I will discuss a few of these issues here and how Leguano barefoot shoes could potentially help. 1. Athlete’s […]
The weather is perfect to get outdoors to enjoy some exercise and fresh air. What better way than hitting some trails and exploring. What better way than throwing on your favourite shoes and being at one with nature. Typically, you’d throw on a pair of hiking boots with a thick rugged sole that weigh a […]
Choosing the proper shoe can be a daunting task. There are so many to choose from and how do you know what is right for you? Running shoe technology has changed over the years, mostly to provide more cushioning and protection to our feet. The problem with traditional running shoes is that it puts the […]
“What can I wear them for?” This is one of the most common questions we get asked. I guess the term “barefoot” throws people off sometimes (I used to be one of those, so I totally get it!!). While it would be much easier for me to tell you when NOT to wear them, here […]
There’s nothing quite like the feeling of being completely surrounded by water, breathing in fresh air, and trying to stay balanced as wave after wave strikes from every angle. If you’re a passionate boater (or simply love being on the water), you know exactly what I’m talking about!! Whether you’re pedaling, rowing, maneuvering a Sea-Doo, […]
After hiking Machu Picchu in the days prior, I woke up at 3:30am, slipped on the same pair of leguano boots (the Kosmos), and got ready to embark on our group’s last Peruvian adventure, Rainbow Mountain. We took a dark, freezing cold, 3-hour bus ride through little villages and up mountains with sharp edges. Just […]
It is a common misconception that shoes with thick support will protect our feet and joints from pain and injury. However, wearing shoes with cushioning is comparable to putting our feet into a cast and can cause more damage than good. After countless hours, days, and years of attempting to walk without allowing your feet […]
We are not wearing shoes when nature brings us into the world. Moreover, in countries such as India where many people still go barefoot, western complaints such as back, hip and knee problems are virtually unheard of. Walking in shoes is part of western culture, but also the root cause of many associated conditions. Our […]
My wife Deb and I had the pleasure of visiting Germany this past February. When visiting Rothenburg I was very intrigued about a new store that was opening up. This store called “leguano” had a very interesting shoe, nothing like I had seen before. We walked into the store which was not open for business […]
