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 to be wearing shoes. But who wants to put on hot, restrictive footwear? And flip flops are terrible for the feet. Your toes are forced to “claw” to grip onto the shoe to keep it from falling off. This can lead to injuries from an unnatural foot position.

So, what is the solution? Is there a shoe out there that can give us the connection to the ground, keep our feet cool and be healthy for our feet? Yes! Leguano Barefoot Shoes (also referred to as minimalist or zero-drop shoes) are the most comfortable shoes you can wear this summer.

Let’s look at a few reasons why you will want to wear these barefoot shoes:

1. Cool
The woven flexible upper allows air to circulate and feet to breathe. The moisture wicking material forces moisture out of the shoe and prevents sweat from being trapped in the shoe. Leguanos are anti-bacterial, meaning your feet will stay fresher for longer.

2. Protection
Summer activities involve exploring. Hiking, swimming, golfing, walking, and going to the beach are some favorite adventures. However, you’ll need some kind of protection to prevent injuries such as hot pavement, hot sand, rough terrain, and sharp objects at the bottom of the lake. Wearing Leguanos is the next best thing to being barefoot. The durable and flexible sole keeps you in touch with the ground but gives you all the protection you will need. Even from broken glass!

3. Strengthen Your Feet
Wearing Leguano Barefoot Shoes can help to strengthen our feet. A wide toe box and flexible sole allow feet to move freely, as if you were wearing nothing. No more clenching your toes and putting feet in an unnatural position.
