One woman.
One barefoot shoe.
25 days of rebuilding strength.

After years of dealing with foot pain, Susan committed to walking one extra mile each day — for 25 days straight — wearing our barefoot shoes.
Here’s what changed.

Hi, I’m Susan.

I’m 63 years old, a retired teacher, and a grandmother of four.

For years, foot and knee pain controlled my life. I tried everything—supportive shoes, expensive insoles, even skipping out on things I loved. Nothing truly worked.

So I gave myself one small challenge:

Walk one extra mile every day for 25 days.
No sneakers. No padding.
Just me—and a new kind of shoe.

I used to cry after short walks.
Now I’m walking farther than I ever imagined
.”

Day by day, something changed. The pain faded. My strength returned.

And for the first time in a long time… I started to feel like myself again.

“I didn’t post to show off.
I posted to stay accountable... and maybe inspire someone else who’s tired of the pain.”
