Katy Bowman makes a compelling case that our feet—crammed into restrictive footwear for most of our lives—are crying out for liberation. This isn't simply about going barefoot, but understanding how modern shoes have fundamentally altered our natural movement patterns and overall body alignment.

Drawing on biomechanics and movement science, Bowman reveals how the health of our feet affects everything from our knees and hips to our core strength and posture. She offers practical exercises and thoughtful guidance for transitioning towards more natural footwear and movement, helping readers rediscover the remarkable capabilities of their feet. Essential reading for runners, walkers, and anyone interested in natural movement and long-term musculoskeletal health.
