Shoe fashion Barefoot or sock shoe? What is the sporty trend all about

It looks strange, but it’s healthy. Hiking in socks is strenuous and demanding. But your feet will thank you in the long run.

Hiking through the forest in socks sounds crazy at first – but it’s supposed to be healthy. More and more outdoor enthusiasts are trying out the puristic shoe fashion. Sock shoes are also trendy in everyday life. This is what’s behind it.

No one is born with shoes on their feet. The logical conclusion: it is not natural for us to put our feet in sneakers, high heels, running shoes with pronation support, platforms or other more or less comfortable shoes. For anatomical reasons, not every foot fits into every shoe. People with very wide feet in particular tend to squeeze them into their shoes more or less every day. In the long run, this not only ruins the shoes, but also the feet themselves. It is no wonder that they are crammed into a leather or cotton corset for many hours. It is also hardly surprising that more and more people are giving their feet more freedom. And if they cannot go completely barefoot, more and more are turning to socks or barefoot shoes.

In the following article you will find out who sock shoes are suitable for, what concepts there are and what terrain the minimalist shoes are suitable for.

If you want healthy feet, you have to practice early

Even children are advised to explore the world barefoot as often as possible. The reason is simple: while small feet are more or less immobilized in shoes, they have to work “in freedom”. For example, they compensate for unevenness in the ground. In this way, children train and strengthen the still developing arch of the foot and the foot muscles even at kindergarten age. And in doing so, they also reduce the risk of developing splayed, flat or fallen arches later on. However, walking barefoot on parks or footpaths is not without danger. Sharp stones or even broken glass can injure the feet. And this is where sock shoes come into play. In contrast to “normal” sports or leisure shoes, their upper material is elastic. Instead of a solid sole, a reinforced, often rubberized sole prevents possible cuts. The training effect is similar to that of walking barefoot. Most manufacturers of sock or barefoot shoes offer their models for very small feet (like these Leguanitos “active”), but also for adult feet. Here you can find the “Classic” model from Leguano.

If you prefer something a little more purist and natural, you can also leave out the rubber sole. In so-called sock shoes, the sole area is only reinforced with an abrasion-resistant material. In the case of Skinner Socks (available here, for example), this is Swedish polymer, a material that is also used in shipping technology. Sock shoes with this type of sole are therefore an adequate replacement for normal hiking or barefoot shoes with flexible rubber soles on trekking tours or other outdoor sports. Some models are even equipped to withstand moisture. Whether with or without a rubber sole: both variants are challenging for the arch of the foot.

Tipp: Take it slow with your first pair of socks or barefoot shoes. Running is not only more strenuous, but also unusual at first. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Elegant slip-on sock shoes

Admittedly, walking through the forest or mountains in socks sounds a bit strange at first. But many people can’t imagine going to a restaurant or the opera with only socks on their feet. Understandable. But there are also shoes for such occasions that offer the feet the greatest possible freedom – and still look elegant. Slip-on sneakers are the magic word here. The flexible soles are similar to those of sneakers or running shoes such as the Free from Nike. The upper part of the shoe is reminiscent of a sewn-on sock. Neither the heel cap is reinforced, nor does the upper need lacing. Plain and simple. Here you can get the NMD CS 1 City Sock from Adidas.

If you are still wondering what exactly the difference is between sock shoes and barefoot socks, you should remember the following: Both terms mean the same thing, although the term sock shoes is becoming more and more popular. This is probably because the models mentioned above can basically be worn like shoes. The latest trend in barefoot socks: Because some barefoot fans find conventional barefoot fashion too tight in the toe area, the trend is towards socks with a wider toe area. Possibly a healthy alternative to toe socks, which have not really caught on. These non-slip socks from Zyll are intended to fulfill the dream of more freedom for the toe quintet and also cut a good figure when snorkeling, diving and swimming.

If someone is thinking right now in Manchester United ‘well, it will take three or four years and then you will see the first influence’, no chance. If people are not doing what he expects, then he will replace them.

Manchester United and Liverpool are the biggest rivals perhaps in world football, two huge clubs in the North-west of England and I’ve a huge respect for what both clubs have achieved, but you’re not going to get that opportunity too often.

Aberdeen chairman Dave Cormack promised fans the club would be busy in January, and already they have brought in highly-rated USA midfielder Dante Polvara, with the 24-year-old reportedly turning down the Bundesliga to sign for the Dons.

Arsenal academy manager Per Mertesacker hinted last month that Balogun, who has made a total of 10 first-team appearances in all competitions, would head out on loan in January.

Palace pushed for the winner but Norwich’s spirited defence, backed up by the inspired Angus Gunn, held on for a point when saw them move to within a point of safety and denied Patrick Vieira’s side what would have been only their second away win of the season.

A 1-0 loss against RB Leipzig in the Europa League semi-final first leg means their hopes of reaching Seville are still alive but, albeit slim, so are their chances of retaining the Scottish Premiership title.

The timing of the club’s first away win of the season was important as it provided a much-needed morale boost, as the team headed to Saudi Arabia for some warm-weather training.

I didn’t think Louis van Gaal suited the club and he didn’t fit with my style of play but he had a pop at the club this week.

Out of a third-tier European competition, and all guns blazing for the top-four charge. The draw with Liverpool outlined a shift in quality under Antonio Conte, and they are arguably the team to beat in the race for fourth, although they are currently playing catch-up with Arsenal six points ahead of them having played three games more.

They did not have to wait much longer to double their lead, however, as Fry inadvertently deflected the ball past Daniels after Riis Jakobsen’s attempted cross from inside the box.

Newcastle’s bright start took a nasty turn as early as the ninth minute. A poor clearance from Clark bounced off Pukki and saw the 31-year-old break into a one-on-one. Norwich’s talisman was hastily pulled back by the Irishman and the Newcastle defender was correctly shown a straight red card.

City arguably have the biggest, healthiest squad in terms of quality and numbers, but you imagine Chelsea getting a long-term injury to Romelu Lukaku, what would that do to them?

Jan Joost van Gangelen Questions Dutch National Team Player’s Position: Is It Time for a Tactical Shift?

Jan Joost van Gangelen does not really see a number 9 in Joshua Zirkzee, the presenter says during the review of Hungary – Oranje at ESPN. Hans Kraay junior does not completely agree with the words of his colleague.

Kraay junior, if he had been in the shoes of the national coach, would have made a substitution at half time. “I would like it if Zirkzee gets a little support in the point and that you add (Brian, ed.) Brobbey and he can roam around it a bit.”

“Zirkzee is not targetman and you shouldn’t expect that from him,” Kraay junior makes an impassioned plea for the striker. “He is a very graceful number 9 who can play excellent football with a little space.” Van Gangelen does not agree with his colleague’s praise.

The presenter points to the shirt number that the Manchester United striker wears with the Dutch national team. “He has jersey number 10 on his back and that always says enough to me, because it might be more than that,” Van Gangelen refers to the position of the attacking midfielder.

“He’s not real targetmanbut he is not 10 either,” Kraay junior argues. “He is a nice 9.5, but tonight he was not.” Van Gangelen draws a comparison with other Dutch strikers: Brobbey and Wout Weghorst.

“When they come in there is a kind of eagerness, with some number 9s you see that determination. With Zirkzee you always think: that’s a nice player for an indoor football team or beach football, but I don’t know…”

“You cannot expect Zirkzee to stand on the field with steam coming out of his ears and to fight head-to-head duels,” Kraay junior still argues in defense of the striker. “He can function excellently against opponents with more space at the back.”
