A New Year's Resolution Your Feet Will Thank You For
Why starting 2026 from the ground up makes sense
New year, new you. Sound familiar?
Every January is the same – gyms are packed, fridges are healthy, and everyone promises that "this year will be different."
But do you know what most people overlook? Their feet.
Yet this is precisely where your body's health begins. Your feet carry you every single day, for your entire life. The average person walks approximately 160,000 kilometres in their lifetime – that's four times around the world!
So why don't we care for them the same way we do our teeth, skin, or hair?
Why start with your feet?
Your feet are the foundation of everything
Imagine a house built on poor foundations. Even if the rest of the house is perfect, it will eventually start to crumble.
The same applies to your body:
The chain reaction:
Poor footwear → Deformed feet → Knee pain → Hip problems → Back pain → Poor posture
What conventional footwear does to your feet
Modern shoes are designed for appearance, not health. Here's the difference:
Conventional Footwear
LUKS Barefoot Shoes
The result of conventional footwear? Your feet become weak, deformed, and painful.
What happens when you switch to barefoot?
First week
Your feet wake up after years of being "asleep"
First month
Muscles strengthen, feet adapt
After 3 months
Body realigns, pain subsides
After one year
A new standard of living
Stories from our customers
How to begin: Your 30-day barefoot transition plan
Weeks 1-2
Gradual start
Wear barefoot shoes for 1-2 hours daily. Start at home or on short walks. Listen to your body – mild fatigue is normal.
Weeks 3-4
Increasing intensity
Extend wear to 4-6 hours daily. Try longer walks. Exercise your feet at home – pick up a towel with your toes, walk on tiptoes.
Month 2+
Full transition
Wear barefoot all day. Try different surfaces – grass, sand, stones. Enjoy the freedom of natural movement!
Tip: Alternate with conventional shoes until you've adapted. Massage your feet in the evening – it aids recovery.
Common concerns (and why you needn't worry)
Why January is the perfect time to start
1. New year = New habits
January is the month of change. Your motivation is at its peak. Use it!
2. The sooner you start, the sooner you'll feel the change
In three months (by April) you'll already feel a significant difference. In a year, you'll be a different person.
3. An investment in long-term health
This isn't a short-term diet or a New Year's resolution you'll abandon in February. This is a change for life.
This year, add "healthy feet" to your resolutions list
Your action steps
Step 1: Measure your feet using our size guide (5 minutes)
Step 2: Choose your model – winter (Invierno, Chelsea), year-round (Cordelia, Milagro), or lightweight (Fuego, Excellent)
Step 3: Start gradually following our 30-day plan
Choose your first barefoot shoes →Your feet deserve this
Most New Year's resolutions fail by the end of February.
But this is different. This isn't about deprivation or forcing yourself. This is about returning to natural movement
