Olympics Features Several Sports With Barefoot Athletes

Many athletes find that their sport is best performed while barefoot. After all, going barefoot is a great way to maintain strength, flexibility and sensation in the feet!

As the Games of the 30th Olympiad begin in London, here's a list of events (in no particular order) that are worth checking out and regularly feature barefoot athletes:

• Diving
• Swimming
• Sychronized Swimming
• Water Polo
• Artistic Gymnastics
• Rhythmic Gymnastics
• Beach Volleyball
• Judo
• Taekwondo

We believe that if athletes in these sports can safely go barefoot, walking around in daily life -- even in public -- can be perfectly fine.

Your Day Without Shoes is May 26.

The Primalfoot Alliance is pleased to announce that "Your Day Without Shoes" 2012 will be on Saturday, May 26.

The day is for people who love to go barefoot to spend an entire day without having to wear anything on their feet. By doing this, we hope to gain public exposure to the barefoot lifestyle as a legitimate way of functioning in a society that is practically addicted to footwear. This furthers our mission that, "We advocate for people to go barefoot and find prudent ways to let feet be feet first."
