The MOVEMENT Movement Episode 203: Are Barefoot Shoes Booming or Busting?!
Are Barefoot Shoes Booming or Busting?!
– The MOVEMENT Movement with Steven Sashen Episode 203 with Adam Graff
Adam Graff is the creator and founder of Minimal-list, an online platform and resource focused on barefoot shoes and minimalist footwear. His journey into the world of minimalist footwear was sparked, like many, by injury, the idea of a 'better way' and the book "Born to Run" by Christopher McDougall. Adam's journey is one of discovery and passion. Struck by the simple but ancient wisdom in "Born to Run," he saw barefoot shoes not just as footwear, but as a pathway to a healthier and more natural way of movement. This realization led him to seek a deeper understanding and create a platform that would not only serve his interests but also address the needs of a growing community curious about minimalist footwear. Nearly four years later, Minimal-list has grown into a vital resource for the community, offering a comprehensive list of brands, footwear options, and in-depth insights into the world of barefoot and minimalist shoes along with the ever so slightly whimsical Golden Toe Awards. Adam's ethos has always been community-centric – he continuously strives to make Minimal-list a platform that is not only informative but also accessible, helping people navigate the world of natural movement and overcome the initial hurdles of transitioning to barefoot shoes.
