The Barefoot Feeling technology is based on three pillars. In addition to the wide anatomical toe box and the low heel-to-toe drop, the special features of the design are the particularly flat outsole.
The result: thanks to its design, Barefoot Feeling can strengthen the entire foot musculature, promote correct toe positioning and improve posture and stability by supporting an upright gait. At the same time, joint problems, poor posture, back pain and incorrect posture can be prevented by wearing them.
- Wide toe box to prevent malpositions and deformities
- Strengthens the foot muscles and relieves pressure on the spine, ligaments and tendons
- Optimized stimulation of the foot reflex zones
- Reduced heel-to-toe drop for an upright and healthy posture
Wide toe box - to prevent defective positions and deformities
The toe box is anatomically designed to give the toes enough room to spread naturally. The carbon composite toe cap offers the toes an excellently dimensioned protective space. The result is toes that are protected and healthily spread out at the same time.
The toes have enough space to move freely, which prevents bruising and blistering in particular. Another plus: Due to the natural rolling of the toes, the load can be optimally distributed, which relieves the entire musculoskeletal system.
Thanks to the correct toe position, the feet retain the ability to perform their natural movements and functions. At the same time, the spacious toe box ensures maximum freedom of movement, which can prevent defective positions and deformities in particular.
Strengthening of the foot muscles - relief of the spine, ligaments and tendons
Thanks to their design, Barefoot Feeling shoes strengthen and train the entire foot musculature, ligaments and tendons, with the result that joint problems in the knees or hips, poor posture, back pain and other muscular problems can be effectively prevented.
By almost equalizing the height of the heel and forefoot area, the natural movement sequence - the forefoot strike- is promoted. forefoot strike is our natural walking, as humans are by nature forefoot runners.
Unlike heel walking, the natural walking uses a much wider range of muscles, which strengthens the foot muscles and promotes healthy posture and stability. In addition, the spine is relieved and joints and tendons are protected.

Optimized stimulation of the foot reflex zones
The particularly flexible outsole enables natural movement and adapts perfectly to every movement. Developed to be flat and three-dimensionally flexible, the outsole provides increased sensory feedback. Thanks to its special structure, the outsole can adapt optimally to the respective surface.
Our feet consist of a multitude of receptors and small muscles that allow us to precisely perceive everything that happens under our feet. The optimized stimulation of the nerve endings in the soles of the feet enables better blood circulation and strengthens the cardiovascular system at the same time. A result that cannot be achieved with conventional safety shoes with inflexible and often thick soles.
Reduced heel-to-toe drop - for an upright and healthy posture
Unlike conventional safety shoes, Barefoot Feeling shoes are designed to achieve an almost neutral heel position, i.e. almost a so-called zero position. This design means that only a small part of the body weight rests on the forefoot and toes, which protects the joints and tendons.
At the same time, it promotes a natural forefoot strike, which means that the entire bone chain from the foot to the legs and spine is not strained and the spine, hip and knee joints are noticeably relieved. Finally, the special shape of the HKS® Barefoot collection means that the upright movement is supported, which can lead to an improvement in posture.
