Are Barefoot Shoes Booming or Busting?!
– The MOVEMENT Movement with Steven Sashen Episode 203 with Adam Graff
Adam Graff is the creator and founder of Minimal-list,
an online platform and resource focused on barefoot shoes and
minimalist footwear. His journey into the world of minimalist
footwear was sparked, like many, by injury, the idea of a 'better
way' and the book "Born to Run" by Christopher McDougall.
Adam's
journey is one of discovery and passion. Struck by the simple but
ancient wisdom in "Born to Run," he saw barefoot shoes not just as
footwear, but as a pathway to a healthier and more natural way of
movement. This realization led him to seek a deeper understanding
and create a platform that would not only serve his interests but
also address the needs of a growing community curious about
minimalist footwear.
Nearly
four years later, Minimal-list has grown into a vital resource for
the community, offering a comprehensive list of brands, footwear
options, and in-depth insights into the world of barefoot and
minimalist shoes along with the ever so slightly
whimsical Golden
Toe Awards.
Adam's
ethos has always been community-centric – he continuously strives
to make Minimal-list a platform that is not only informative but
also accessible, helping people navigate the world of natural
movement and overcome the initial hurdles of transitioning to
barefoot shoes.
Listen to this episode of The MOVEMENT Movement with Adam Graff about if barefoot shoes are booming or busting.
Here are some of the beneficial topics covered on this week’s show:
- How many people are introduced to barefoot running because of a repetitive injury,
- Why the growth of barefoot shoe companies helps the entire barefoot movement grow.
- How the awareness of natural movement and barefoot shoes is growing in Europe in countries like Germany.
- Why increased interest in natural movement is contributing to the growth of the barefoot shoe market.
- How
transitioning to barefoot shoes leads to stronger and more flexible
feet.
