When you switch to barefoot shoes, your feet are suddenly called upon to work harder and engage muscles that may not have been stimulated enough when wearing traditional cushioned and supportive footwear. If this transition is rushed, it can lead to overuse injuries, as the tissues in your feet are not accustomed to this level of strain. Therefore, a slow and careful transition to barefoot shoes allows your feet to gradually adapt and build strength over time.
