WHAT ARE MINIMALIST SANDALS?

Minimalist sandals are a type of footwear that are designed to be simple and stripped down, often with few or no added features such as cushioning, arch support, or a heavily structured design. They typically consist of a flat sole and minimal upper, with thin straps or no straps at all. The aim of minimalist sandals is to mimic the sensation of walking barefoot, providing a more natural and ergonomic experience. The goal is often to promote good foot health and improve balance, stability, and mobility. Minimalist sandals are popular among people who enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking or camping, as well as those who are looking for a more natural alternative to traditional footwear.

WHY CHOOSE MINIMALIST FOOTWEAR? ARE THEY HEALTHY?

Minimalist footwear is a type of shoes that are simple in design, providing a more natural and ergonomic experience by allowing for natural foot movement and improved posture. They are lightweight and comfortable, reducing the risk of injury and offering increased sensory input for improved foot health.

There are several reasons why people choose minimalist footwear:

Natural foot movement

Minimalist footwear allows for a more natural movement of the feet, which can help improve balance and stability.

Improved posture

Wearing minimalist shoes can help correct poor posture by promoting the correct alignment of the feet, legs, and spine.

Foot strengthening

By providing less support, minimalist footwear can help strengthen the muscles in the feet, which can improve overall foot health.

Reduced injury risk

Minimalist footwear can reduce the risk of certain types of injuries, such as plantar fasciitis, by reducing the amount of stress placed on the feet and lower legs.

Increased sensory input

Walking in minimalist shoes provides increased sensory input from the ground, which can help improve proprioception (awareness of body position and movement) and overall foot health.

Lightweight and comfortable

Minimalist shoes are often lightweight and comfortable, making them ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking and camping.

MINIMALIST BAREFOOT SANDALS VS MINIMALIST BAREFOOT SHOES

Minimalist sandals and minimalist shoes are two types of footwear that are designed to offer a more natural and minimalistic feel to the feet. The main difference between the two is their design and the amount of coverage they provide for the feet.

Minimalist sandals typically have thin straps and a flat sole, which allows for more exposure to the feet and greater contact with the ground. They are often used for activities such as hiking, camping, and water sports, as they provide excellent ventilation and can dry quickly.

Minimalist shoes, on the other hand, provide more coverage for the feet and are often designed with a closed toe and a simple, low-cut design. They are typically made with flexible, breathable materials and are ideal for activities such as running, walking, and other forms of exercise.

Both minimalist sandals and shoes aim to provide a more natural and unencumbered feel to the feet, allowing for a greater range of motion and less restriction on movement. However, it is important to consider the specific needs and preferences of each individual when deciding between the two.

MINIMALIST SANDALS PARTS

Minimalist running sandals consist of several key parts: an upper made of breathable material, a footbed for cushioning and support, straps to adjust fit, a sole for grip and traction, a midsole for additional support, a toe loop to keep the sandal in place, and hardware such as laces or buckles. These components come together to create a lightweight and flexible sandal that allows for a natural, barefoot-like running experience.

SOLE

We can say that the most important element of minimalist sandals is the sole. The sole should be strong, flexible, light and comfortable. Different base structures can be preferred according to the area of use. Soulmate EVA sole sandals are ideal for everyday use. It is incredibly light and flexible. It can slip slightly on wet ground. Vibram sole Soulmate minimalist sandals can be preferred for more traction and strength. It is generally used in outdoor and nature trips.

FOOTPAD

It is the point where your foot touches the sandal. Soulmate uses two types of materials, leather and fabric. Leather insoles; It is 100% genuine calf leather and has high strength. It also offers additional comfort due to its texture. It has a long drying time like a classic leather in contact with water. The fabric insoles used by Soulmate are 100% cotton fabric with water repellent feature. Sandals produced with fabric are 100% vegan. It is ideal for those who have problems with sweating feet. It provides high traction in both wet and dry use.

LACES

It serves to fix the minimalist sandal on your foot. Polyester woven laces are both very durable and tight. Soulmate uses laces of different thicknesses between 1.5 cm and 2 cm. Both of them have similar attachment stability in the foot, but 2 cm width gives a healthier result. In some models, additional stability and a more elegant appearance are provided with patterned or reflective second strips of 1 cm width.

BUCKLES

The buckle is the element that secures the laces of the sandals to your feet. It should be in such a way that it can maintain the tension of the sandal laces and that it will not unravel in any way in sudden and hard movements. According to the Soulmate model, it uses two types of YKK branded buckles. YKK is one of the most important plastic accessories and zipper manufacturers in the world, and all its designs are made with finesse. It has very high strength.

HOW TO MAINTAIN MINIMALIST SANDALS?

Your sandal is open to all weather conditions during use. It is directly exposed to all reactions from the ground. And also; sweating of your feet and rubbing against the sandal may cause abrasions and odor formation on the soles of the sandals.

Therefore, regular sandal care is very important. Minimalist running sandals are very easy to maintain and clean. It doesn't require a great deal of attention. We recommend that you wash your cotton fabric-covered sandals with lukewarm water once every 8-10 days by brushing them lightly. In this way, you will be purified from dust and dirt, as well as remove any odors that may occur. As for leather-covered ones, you can keep the maintenance periods longer as they will be less affected by external conditions. I suggest you wash it the same way and brush it lightly.

We do not recommend washing your sandals in the washing machine!

HOW TO CHANGE SANDAL LACES?

The Soulmate Barefoot Minimalist Sandals feature an alternating lacing system. You can make yourself a brand new sandal by buying different models of laces on a single sole.

You can also create different sandals with different lacing types depending on the type and number of buckles you have.
