In response to these challenges, more and more people are turning to barefoot shoes that mimic the natural barefoot gait to support foot health. In addition, specialized devices such as the Whiteoak Foot Trainer and Balance Beam, developed in cooperation with physiotherapists, help to fully rehabilitate and strengthen the feet. Learn how these tools and footwear can help improve foot function, injury prevention and overall fitness.
