Say NO to conventional shoes
If you care for your feet and posterior balance and strength, so no to conventional shoes
Here is a summary of why:

Tapered toe boxes:
These can compress the toes, potentially leading to issues like bunions and hammertoes. -
Thick, rigid soles:
These can limit sensory feedback from the ground and reduce foot flexibility and strength. -
Heel elevation (heel-to-toe drop):
This can alter posture, shift weight forward, and potentially contribute to issues in the feet, ankles, knees, and hips. -
Excessive cushioning and arch support:
While seemingly comfortable initially, these can prevent the foot's intrinsic muscles from working and strengthening naturally, potentially leading to dependence on the support.

Barefoot footwear aims to reverse these effects by allowing the feet to move and function as they were naturally designed.
