>>19605812>Why are modern shoes like this?Affordable barefoot shoes are only possible with modern material science, textile manufacturing, and global supply chains. We could have collectively realized the need for this sooner but for the most part they were made available when it became affordable at scale. It also took about 10 years to educate people through marketing on the need for proper shoe design and most people still do not know why their shoes are fucking up their bodies. I am very happy these companies are profitable and I hope they continue to be successful
