FAQ

This depends on many factors such as your running style and body weight. We recommend short sessions of 15 - 20 minutes on soft ground taking the simple form of the ABC of running and going on regenerative runs. If your "running" is problem-free, you can increase the distance and occasionally test harder surfaces. We have feedback from customers who have complete marathons in barefoot shoes. This is possible, but requires a perfect front-foot running style. We would rather recommend shorter distances and especially ask that you pay attention to your altered posture and the different muscle load this brings. Please also bear in mind that the lack of a heel strike places more strain on the Achilles tendon in its original position. The Achilles can become shortened by wearing heel-raising shoes for long periods of time. Please give yourself and your body time to adapt.
