Going barefoot

Don’t we often try to understand everything with our head/mind? Thinking on and from the feet is often underrated, even though we spend so many hours walking, running, or jumping around. Our upright posture puts more or less strain on our feet every day. Keeping this in mind and as a running addict I discovered Vivo Barefoot Shoes. I was quickly attracted to the philosophy and concept due to the following reasons:

  • More space in the forefront of the shoes for the toes.
  • Minimal heel high
  • Flexibility
  • Feeling more connected to the ground, therefore going naturally more with your forefoot

So, the idea of some form of collaboration captured my interest and here we are! Thanks to Vivo, I’m thinking daily with my feet (heart)! It just feels better. Thank you so much Vivo Switzerland!

What gives you more emotional kick than nature?

This long hiking trail of approximately 440 km gives you goosebumps because it is so diversified. For me, one of the most beautiful hiking trails in Europe and the world. In August and September 2021, I coupled it with Kebnekaise, with an elevation of 2096m Sweden’s highest mountain, and hiked subsequently the Höga Kusten trail with about 130km on the Eastern shore of Sweden.

The feelings you experience on a long hiking tour are indescribable. Nobody is a better teacher than nature. Here are some emotional feelings which captured me along the way:

  • Several moments of complete oneness with nature. Some might call it flow state.
  • Nature wants to guide you in different forms, like birds showing you the way.
  • Deep satisfaction and gratitude.
