Why Sockwa Shoes?Sockwa footwear has perfected the technology of producing ultra-thin soles. Paired with uppers that arestretchable and form fitting, the results are barefoot shoes that allow people the benefits of barefoot walkingand the added protection of shoes.
Sockwa is proud of its braided 2mm thick neoprene soles that are intended for a wide range of surfaces. Toaddress the concerns of durability, Sockwa has launched its thin rubber outsole skin and a venting system
suitable even for professional athletes.
Dr. William Rossi in a 1999 article in Podiatry Management said it best with regards to going barefoot :
It took 4 million years to develop our unique human foot and ourconsequent distinctive form of walk, a remarkable feat of bioengineering. Yet, in only a fewthousand years, and with one carelessly designed instrument, our shoes, we have warped thepure anatomical form of human walk, obstructing its engineering efficiency, afflicting it withstrains and stresses and denying it its natural grace of form and ease of movement head to foot.
In reality, you could not really replicate the experience of walking barefoot even with the slimmest barefootshoes. But wearing Sockwa footwear is the closest that you could get because these are more like reinforcedsocks! You couldn’t get any closer to the ground than that.
For all its good features and benefits, Sockwa shoes are also easy on the pocket.

which Sockwa would be good for yoga? The Sockwa Dojo? I recently had foot surgery and am apracticed yogi, but haven’t been able to enjoy yoga for 3 months. I am cleared by my dr. to beginagain!! I feel using a Sockwa, or another other suggestion you might have, would help me with gripand stability as I get back into yoga. If not the Sockwa, what other product(s) would be useful to try?
Thanks

I have tried the vibram, and they just dont fit right no matter what size i get. The toe just doesnt fit incorrectly. I like the terra plana i bought the aqua’s very nice shoes in feel and over all. I want to lookinto these sockwa or the soft stars for spare shoe to try. Which shoes is better i guess the sockwa orsoft stars? I love the terra plana but would ike somthing more flexible.
