Hello.
Feet are important for a child's growth.
In fact, I think it is no exaggeration to say that foot development = body development.
For example, when building a house or building, it is said that the most important thing is to stabilize the foundation. The same is true for humans; developing strong feet, which are the foundation that supports the entire body, will lead to future stability.
Meanwhile, in recent years, the idea of "foot development" has been gaining attention, and it has become widely known that properly developing the feet is directly linked to future health and athletic ability .
In addition, "barefoot," which involves gripping the ground as if you are barefoot, and "barefoot running," a style that makes use of this, are gradually becoming more popular.
In response to this trend, we have come up with a new proposal called FootBear.
Today, I would like to talk about the importance of foot care and our efforts using the "barefoot socks" we developed.
What is foot care?
Foot development refers to all activities that support the healthy development of children's feet .
The key is to properly develop the "natural function of the foot."
Especially in childhood, the skeleton and muscles are still flexible, so external stimulation is very important.
Delayed foot development
Poor posture
・You may stumble easily.
・Athletic ability becomes difficult to improve
Problems such as these may occur.
On the other hand, if you learn to use your feet correctly from an early age,
It has been shown to have a positive effect on balance, endurance, and even concentration .
Why is "barefoot" good?
In the natural world, human feet are designed to be walked on barefoot, and this hasn't changed since the dawn of mankind.
When you walk barefoot,
Use the entire sole of your foot to grip the ground
- Toes move freely
Activates muscles and sensory nerves to maintain balance
This provides plenty of stimulation needed for growth.
In an effort to regain this "barefoot" feeling, a running style called "barefoot running" is spreading around the world.
This is a training method that aims to bring out the natural strength of your feet by having you take off your usual cushioned shoes and run barefoot or in similar shoes.
However, in modern times, we spend a lot of time on paved asphalt and hard floors.
It is becoming more difficult to "safely achieve the benefits of going barefoot."
So we came up with our own unique concept called "Footbear."
It is a new foot support that maintains the feeling of being barefoot while providing minimal protection with socks instead of shoes.
