In recent months, we have seen how public figures in Spain such as Cristina Pedroche or Queen Letizia Ortiz have adopted barefoot footwear. But what is behind this trend and why are they choosing this type of footwear? We tell you all the details.
Cristina Pedroche: A Revolution in the World of Fashion

It has allowed her to feel a more natural connection with the ground, improve her posture and reduce pain in her feet and back. In addition, for someone as active as she is, who practices yoga and running, barefoot shoes provide the flexibility and support necessary for her dynamic lifestyle.
On several occasions, he has been seen wearing ROOTS footwear, and we are extremely grateful for that.
Queen Letizia: Elegance and comfort do not have to be at odds.
On the other hand, Queen Letizia, always impeccable and elegant, has surprised the public with her choice of barefoot footwear in several official appearances. This decision is not surprising, since in recent months she has had several very painful injuries such as Morton's neuroma in her left foot, chronic metatarsalgia and a fracture in the proximal phalanx of the middle toe of her right foot. Without a doubt, the start of using barefoot footwear is an excellent idea, since she had to continue with her public agenda but with footwear that offered greater comfort and pain relief.
Barefoot footwear has been an effective solution to alleviate her discomfort, allowing her to walk more naturally and pain-free. By adopting this type of footwear, Queen Letizia has found a way to improve her well-being without sacrificing style. This choice underlines her commitment to health and well-being, proving that comfort is not at odds with elegance.
Why Choose Barefoot Footwear?
Barefoot footwear is characterized by its minimalist design that allows the feet to move more naturally, as if you were barefoot. Benefits include:
- Foot Strengthening : By allowing the feet to move naturally, the intrinsic musculature of the foot is strengthened.
- Improved Posture : Walking barefoot or in minimalist footwear promotes more correct posture and better body alignment.
- Pain Reduction : For people with problems like Morton's neuroma or metatarsalgia, barefoot can help reduce pressure and pain in the feet.
- Improved Balance : Feeling the ground beneath your feet increases proprioception, improving balance and coordination.
- Increased Flexibility : Barefoot shoes allow the feet to move freely, which can increase flexibility and joint mobility.
- Natural Stimulation : Walking barefoot or in minimalist footwear stimulates the nerves in the feet, which can improve circulation and overall foot health.
- Prevention of pathologies such as bunions, claw toes or fasciitis.
