Your feet are more important than you think, and strong feet make for a better functioning body. (It ALL starts with the feet.)

BAREFOOTSCIENCE™ is the world’s first in-shoe non-orthotic insole system, which provides a progressive solution for common conditions and those suffering from things like general foot pain, flat feet, knee pain, plantar fasciitis, hip pain, lower back pain, lower body alignment problems, neuropathy, shoulder pain - the list goes on! 

At Barefoot, we know that your feet were designed to be bare. Our insoles bring the positive effect of walking barefoot in the sand or in grass to you from inside your shoes. 

People from all walks of life love BAREFOOTSCIENCE™. From pro and Olympic-athletes to ER Nurses to Special forces military personnel, to a million and a half ordinary people looking to enjoy pain-free mobility, BAREFOOTSCIENCE™ customers agree:

BAREFOOTSCIENCE™ insoles relieved pain and improved athletic performance!

BAREFOOTSCIENCE™ Foot Strengthening Insoles are ideal for those with:

  • Flat feet
  • Tired, sore or aching feet
  • Shoulder pain
  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • ITB Syndrome
  • Back, knee or hip pain
  • Arthritis
  • Bunions and other age-associated foot conditions
  • Diabetes

Whether you’re an athlete or a weekend warrior, you can see a dramatic improvement in walking and running gait, stability, pain relief and performance.

 

How Do Barefoot Science Insoles Work?

Everything from balance, stability, movement and alignment begins with the feet. Pain in the body (foot pain, knee pain, hip pain and shoulder pain), injury, dysfunction, and atrophied muscles have all been linked to the feet in some way. If you have flat feet, overpronation, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, shin splints, bunions, heel spurs, diabetes, gait imbalance, arthritis, neuropathy or diabetes; if you're a runner, an athlete, or an everyday person - it ALL starts with the feet. 

Barefoot insoles activate and stimulate the mid-arch - and therefore the foot exercises - getting stronger with each and every step you take. Over time, our innovative insole technology naturally builds strength at the foundation of the body, improving balance, enhancing performance and eliminating pain caused by the conditions we mentioned above.

Barefoot insoles have a patented dome shape in which a small plug or insert is placed (there number of inserts depends on the insole model). This functional technology allows for a progressive activation of the muscles in the soles of the feet and up the calf and legs. With each Barefoot step you take, you'll be strengthening the foot and elevating the arch.

A heightened arch more easily handles the stresses of body weight and movement, but yes, we do have an insole for high arches too! BAREFOOTSCIENCE™ builds strength, treating the root cause of foot, knee, hip and back pain, and prevents further injury. The foot and legs become self sufficient no longer needing to rely on thick rigid device loaded shoes and orthotics to function.

Forget everything you thought you knew about foot care. Traditional shoes and orthotics, weaken the foot with each and every step. With BAREFOOTSCIENCE™, you can build strength, just as if you were walking the way nature intended: barefoot!

 

Barefoot Science insoles have proven results for conditions like:

  • Flat feet
  • Tired, sore or aching feet
  • Shoulder pain
  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • ITB Syndrome
  • Back, knee or hip pain
  • Arthritis
  • Bunions
  • Shin Splints
  • Metatarsalgia
  • Diabetes
  • Neuropathy
  • Poor circulation

Whether you’re an athlete or a weekend warrior, you can see a dramatic improvement in walking and running gait, stability, pain relief and performance.

Trust the Science, Go Barefoot

The Science behind our innovative insole technology is not new, and it’s certainly not a secret.

BAREFOOTSCIENCE™ is a product with a proven track record of more than 20 years; from children, to elite athletes, podiatrists, military veterans and everyone in between - the Barefoot team aims to help everyone who walks.

“This product makes sense not only for minimalist runners, but for the entire shoe wearing population.” Dr. Mark Cucuzzella MD and natural running expert.
“These insoles help so many people with such a variety of complaints – not just because they align posture or provide cushioning and support for feet (like orthotics) – but because they activate the plantar musculature and foot bed proprioception which I believe it literally completes the upright posture circuit and brings about posture without effort!” David M. Lemke, NMT, sEMG.
“I recommend this product, and I am not just a practice of one, I work with Dr Karen Brooks, a Podiatrist, we tag team on every Veteran that enters our offices for Podiatric services, she too has over 25 years’ experience in Podiatry Practice and is also very happy with the results of this innovative design and the multiple uses of this barefoot Science rehabilitative and preventative shoe insert to help our Podiatric patients/Veterans.” Michael P. Olden, H.t; Ost; C-Ped; Pmac., American Board for Certifications in Orthotics, Prosthetics and Pedorthics.
“Fascinating how quickly the accommodation process is if given the right information. Everyone needs your system.” Dr. Peter Gorman
