Well, she’s not actually going barefoot…but Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl is wearing a shoe whose curved sole is supposed to imitate the rocking motion of walking around barefoot. Check it out…
Here’s Katherine, stepping out in MBTs (Masai Barefoot Technology),
a shoe touted as as “the anti-shoe.”
According to podiatrists, walking barefoot can be a healthy thing for your feet. In a recent article by Lucy Atkins for The Island Online, actress Scarlett Johansson appeared shoeless to support a shoe charity’s “Barefoot Week” and there’s a rising trend of people actually going barefoot! On city streets!
Ewww.
Even if you decide to keep your shoes on (my two cents: Please Do.), here are some tips that Atkins recommends at the end of her article:
- Buy shoes that fit and don’t wear the same ones every day – alternate heel heights.
- Avoid heels above about 4cm (1½in) for daily use as this can shorten your Achilles tendon.
- Go barefoot at home. It exercises all the foot muscles, can prevent foot strains and keeps the feet strong and flexible.
