Concerned that you are a lost in choosing your shoes...
In 1993, an anthropologist Dr. Shiro Kondo in his published work blew the whistle that changes in living environment and shoes have weakened human legs.
Nowadays, concern about weakening of our legs functionally, has expanded remarkably.
It may come from issues that number of injured runners has no decreased at all while shoes for runners have been developed one and after.
Shock-absorbing function spoils your muscle
Shock-absorbing function has just let pain spots move. Platform shoes are the same as well.
Strongly recommend that you should not always wear high performance and highly cushioned.
There is a risk of losing both your muscle strength and sensitivity of reception because of being spoiled by advanced functions. And make your muscle smaller so far.
Tabi style running shoes will lead you to:
We, human beings, instinctively demand to boot its ability.
Runners demand credible improvement of their muscle strength and sensory nervous from stimulation and impact from the ground while running.
It's strange and unnatural that cushioned shoes reduce impact from the ground, therefore, the instinct is to make kicking and landing on the ground stronger
to get information from the stimulus, which lead to a factor that can induce breakdowns.
Why Tabi Style?
Tabi style shoes promise to keep your big toes in the right position and let them work smoothly.
Most of you may are aware that the independent and straight extension of the big toe is important for weight bearing.
Has long been known, from a long time ago. Very proud to announce that the tabi-style footwear surely allows for good use of the big toe.
Suggestion: For those who are quite new to barefoot running shoes or have never worn Tabi-shoes or Jika-tabi*, please try them first indoors first or walking around to get used to their comfort.
Running long distances or using them at a fast pace or forcing yourself to use them may cause injury or breakdown. Thank you for your attention.
*Jika-tabi: rubber-soled socks with the big separate toes
