Wildling Crows
On February 15, 2021 by NoeliaThis model is part of their Winter Collection 2020. I bought this pair second-hand shortly after their release. I actually traded a pair of Vivobarefoot boots that did not work for me for these and I’m very happy I did. I was not associated with Wildling when I reviewed them, but I love Wildling so
How to make your own wool insoles
On January 31, 2021 by NoeliaI was introduced to wool insoles by Wildling shoes. I bought them with my Cranes because I knew they were going to be a little big on me. I wanted the insoles to take some of the extra space my shoes were going to have. I ended up loving them and I wanted to add
Insoles
On January 31, 2021 by NoeliaSince I transitioned to barefoot shoes, I have learned how to use insoles. In the past, I wouldn’t even notice if my shoes had them or not. Now, I use them as tools. They can help with: Temperature control (both in winter and summer). Padding. Texture. Taking away some of the volume of the shoe.
Tadeevo Winter Shoes
On January 18, 2021 by NoeliaI was so excited when I found these shoes! I bought them second-hand, in new condition, for 40% of their price. I was looking for winter boots and, because I like my Tadeevo sneakers so much, I jumped on the opportunity, even though they were one size bigger than what I would have chosen. I
Toe Yoga
On January 17, 2021 by NoeliaToe yoga is something you can do any time. This video was done after months of practicing… and I still have days when my toes won’t move the way I want them to. How often do I do toe yoga? Whenever you can. I’ve been teaching remotely, so I do these when I’m standing for
Lems Boulder Boots
On January 11, 2021 by NoeliaMy first pair of barefoot shoes was a pair of Lems Leather Boulder Boots. I received them on December 24, 2019 and wore them the rest of that winter and all spring. By the next fall, they were too small for me… I ended up selling them and buying a second-hand pair, but this time,
UNDERSTANDING WILDLING SHOES
On December 11, 2020 by NoeliaWildling is my favorite brand for barefoot shoes. I bought several of my shoes either directly from their website or second hand. I was not affiliated to them, until recently. I stumbled upon Wilding at the beginning of my barefoot transition. They were having an end of the season sale and because I was not
Peerko Empire Boots
On November 23, 2020 by NoeliaI’ve been looking for a stylish barefoot boot that fits my Greek feet (long second and third toes). I did not want to spend a lot of money on something that I couldn’t wear for too long, it was too loose (I have skinny ankles and low volume feet), or too narrow. When the Empire
Sneakers for Women
On November 10, 2020 by NoeliaI have never been a sneakers person. I have always been a high heels one. The most difficult thing about transitioning to barefoot shoes is accepting that my shoes do not look girly, cute, sexy, nor small. I know this says more about our society and the roles we, as women, are supposed to fill.
Hip, Knee, Ankle Alignment
On August 30, 2020 by NoeliaI hurt my lower back while exercising a while ago. I went to different physical therapists and chiropractors the following year and not one of them mentioned my alignment. It wasn’t until I discovered minimalist shoes and Katy Bowman that I became aware of my misalignment. The first step I look was to look down
