Flamenco is a very old, captivating style of dance. This sensual, exciting dance style, a national art in Spain, actually has its roots in Northwest India. That said, if you want a “more barefoot” experience, you’ll want to try a sandal at some time. Here’s why. If you like feet, ask your partner to send a tantalizing image of their feet to you.

Vibram FiveFingers is a brand that produces minimalist shoes with individual toe compartments, resembling a glove for the feet. One of the key benefits of wearing foot shoes is the improvement in foot strength and flexibility. These unique shoes mimic the natural movement of the feet, allowing the muscles and ligaments to work more efficiently.As an example, look at the barefoot shoe below. It’s still a lot of foam between you and the ground. It still has arch support that you probably don’t need. Your foot, your arch, provides support. The arch is a very strong structure. If you want to make an arch weak, support it. Push on the keystone, the whole thing falls apart. Just kind of logical. They are little more flexible in the forefoot but not flexible through the midfoot.

When you land in a regular shoe; a big, stiff, motion control shoe, you’re going to typically land on the heel because with all that padding your body says, “Well, let’s just use that.” Whether it’s good for you or not, it just uses it.
