I like to wear barefoot clogs instead of the Birkenstock Boston.
Clogs are all the rage right now. And while I really appreciate a wide, flat shoe – The Birkenstock Boston (and the like) are very stiff. I find flexible, minimalist soles to be much more comfortable and they support my long term foot health as well!
Here is your guide to the why behind barefoot clogs and which ones are my favorite.

Katy Bowman is a biomechanist, prolific author, speaker, and founder of Nutritious Movement. Her best selling books include Whole Body Barefoot (my personal favorite) and her newest book Rethink Your Position. Her work was very influential to me during my darkest times of injury and pain, and I think you’ll love it too.
Katy was one of the earliest proponents of minimalist footwear as a viable solution to many of the foot woes we experience in the developed world. But as this idea has taken hold (and rightly so!) there’s a part of the conversation that often gets left out. And that is the sh ..read more

When it comes to shoes the dialogue can feel a bit extreme. It’s either a total barefoot shoe or a full blown marshmallow strapped to your foot. But what if you’re someone who wants to wear a combination of those two – a wide toe box shoe that doesn’t squish your toes, but that also doesn’t have an ultra thin, flat sole?
I’m here to solve your shoe woes, so here is your guide to shoes that have a natural foot shape but are not barefoot shoes.

It’s not easy out there if you don’t want your toes squished. And frankly most people completely miss the mark when it comes to the best shoes for wide feet. Fortunately there are a number of brands making shoes that actually fit wide where you need it, and they are pretty stylish to boot.
Check out the newest stylish & WIDE barefoot boots for fall 2023!
And you can find here all my previous shoe swaps for happier feet (this has been my favorite thing to do since 2018).
