Well it’s all to do with your nervous system. We have over 200,000 nerve endings on each foot. Because our feet are the only thing connecting us to the ground (usually) we rely on those nerves to tell the rest of our body how to react to whatever we step on walk or run over.
The thicker the soles of your shoes are the less information your nervous system gets from your feet so it has to rely on other, less sensitive parts of your body to figure out what’s going on down there. That leads to mistakes and sometimes can cause injury.
Vibram FiveFingers have super thin soles so they’re just enough to protect your feet but not too much so your nerves have a chance to do what they’re meant to do in the first place. Help you move better.
