Walking barefoot
reduces the load
on knee joints by
12 per cent compared
with walking in
comfortable shoes,
and it may also
minimise pain and
disability from
osteoarthritis. That’s
the finding of a study
from Rush University
Medical Center of
75 people with osteo-
arthritis. A later
study found that
‘mobility shoes,’
which are flat and
flexible to mimic
bare feet, reduced
the load even more
(by 18 per cent)
when worn for six
months or more
