The transition: central pillar in the transition to barefoot
A smooth transition is necessary from rigid shoes to barefoot (minimalist) shoes. We are convinced that we are all made to be barefoot on a daily basis, however the body needs time to adapt, to move forward little by little, with awareness and respect.
Observe, feel and listen to yourself
A smooth transition is necessary from rigid shoes to barefoot (minimalist) shoes. We are convinced that we are all made to be barefoot on a daily basis, however the body needs time to adapt, to move forward little by little, with awareness and respect.
This period of physical transition is essential. We advise you to start wearing your barefoot shoes (minimalist) for around 15 minutes per day, indoors, then outdoors, gradually increasing the time of use.
The muscles in your body will be stimulated differently, which is why it is important to give them time to develop in order to regain your natural posture.
Restore mobility to your feet
Our feet have been locked in more or less rigid shoes for the majority of our lives. Succeeding in getting them moving again and mobilizing them can be painful for some and require patience.
If you feel the need or if pain occurs, don't hesitate to put your old shoes back on for a while before switching back to your barefoot (minimalist) shoes.
You can also do exercises to regain greater freedom of movement and ease the transition. For the exercises, we recommend the book Go barefoot ! by Katy BOWMAN.
Conditioned but not determined
We realized after years of sales and advice in barefoot that the psychological transition exists and plays a very important part in the choice of switching to barefoot.
We have noticed, on numerous occasions, a reluctance among certain adults to abandon, for example, heeled shoes, a symbol of femininity. Or, again, the trendy brands that make us "in fashion"...
Looks very often take priority over well-being or health. We have all heard: “You have to suffer to be beautiful”. Barefoot goes against this saying and when its benefits become visible and considerable, some people break away from these diktats and more easily accept wearing minimalist shoes.
We took this psychological parameter into account in the creation of our Télito shoes. This is why we have designed a range of urban barefoot (minimalist) shoes with a nice look, so that the appearance of the shoe is no longer a barrier to the well-being of your feet.

Un article très instructif ! Et il semble heureusement que pour les nouvelles générations, la féminité ne soit plus aussi associée au talon que dans le passé… Pour le plus grand bonheur de nos pieds !
Bonjour ,
J’ ai enfin sauté le pas . J’ ai depuis toujours mal au dos , rdv chez le Kine toutes les semaines.
La 1 semaine , j’ ai eu beaucoup de douleurs au dos mais lorsque je mettais mes chaussures en rentrant du travail , j’ avais une sensation de bien être et de confort .
Au bout de cette semaine , je ne peux plus me passer de mes telito Donc j’ ai commandé une 2 paire .
Je suis très contente et j’attends avec impatience les chaussures d’ été . 😍
Danseuse, je passais déjà une partie du temps pieds nus ou en chaussettes. Depuis plusieurs années je n’achetais que des chaussures à semelles souples ( mais du commerce classique donc épaisses). Passer aux chaussures barefoot Telito à été facile pour moi même du jour au lendemain. Un véritable coup de coeur, comme si j’avais enfin trouvé ce que je cherchais depuis plusieurs années. Un pied mobile, libre, qui ressent les reliefs. Comme si on avait enlevé le bandeau sur les yeux de mes pieds 😅. Je ne peux plus rien porter d’autre. Et le gros plus, important aussi pour moi ( en plus de leur beauté), elles sont vegans, recyclages, éthiques. Tout pour plaire !
